Milking idea of ice cream with health benefits

Paganini was founded on a Co Waterford farm more than 20 years ago as a way of adding value to dairy output. Now, it is marketing its innovative and award-winning products to the UK, writes Trish Dromey.

Creating ice creams which blend nourishment with indulgence has helped Co Wexford desert company Paganini scoop the Innovation Award at this year’s Bord Bia Food and Drink awards.

The company has gone to market with a functional ice cream enriched with protein called FitFuel Nourish, which is designed for use by recuperating hospital patients.
