Cool challenge for ice cream experts
Unilever opens new research facility at Sharnbrook.
Unilever, the global market leader in ice cream, opened its twin-sited centre of excellence for ice foods in Sharnbrook and Caivano, Italy, on Wednesday.
It will bring together the giant's know-how in freezing, ingredients and processing to create new ice creams for brands such as Magnum, Cornetto, Frusi, Twister, Carte D'Or and Ben & Jerry's.
The centre employs 130 professionals at Colworth Science Park and in Italy, and their challenge is to develop tasty and wholesome ice-based pleasure foods based on natural ingredients such as milk, fruit and cereals, minimising fat, sugar and calories without compromising enjoyment.
Director Iain Campbell said: "We want to be a treasure trove of technologies for new innovations that wow our consumers."
