Lakeland Dairies Foodservice release free Millac Gold Double piping kit for social care sector

Lakeland Dairies Foodservice’s has launched a brand-new, free piping kit to help support care caterers. The exciting new kit is completely free and includes a roll of ten Millac piping bags, three bowl scrappers and a downloadable piping guide which includes fun activities for care residents to enjoy. The guide is chock-a-block with resourceful activities and ideas which can be made using Millac Gold Double, the only cream alternative with real dairy cream and added vitamin D. 


Win 
In addition to this, ten lucky entrants who apply for the Millac Gold Piping Kit will be selected at random to win a NAPA (National Activities Provider Association) activity pack. NAPA is expert in providing activities for people in care settings and aims to empower people to enrich the lives of every individual they support. The NAPA prize resource is a downloadable Activities Ideas resource and a No Baking Cooking booklet, worth a combined £13.99. 

Care to be Creative 
Cream alternatives are extremely popular in foodservice due to their cost-effectiveness and robust performance. Millac Gold Double is a professional cream alternative expertly blended by Lakeland Dairies Foodservice, with added vitamin D. It is extremely versatile and can be used for whipping, cooking and pouring. Deliciously smooth, it combines Millac’s great-tasting signature dairy flavour with dairy ingredients from Lakeland Dairies Co-Op of family farms, professional-grade stability and produces a fantastic yield, whipping up to three times in size. 

Millac Gold Double was the first cream alternative to be endorsed by The Craft Guild of Chefs Product Endorsement scheme and is used widely throughout foodservice.
On the Craft Guild of Chefs website, celebrity Chef Cyrus Todiwala, chef-patron of Café Spice Namasté and user of Millac Gold notes:

“We use Millac Gold in our kitchens because it offers convenience without compromising on taste and it performs better than dairy cream, adding to the balance of flavours that we strive to achieve.”**

Added Vitamin D
Often referred to as ‘the sunshine vitamin’, vitamin D is a hormone which is produced in the skin in response to sunlight. The British Dietetic Association (BDA) explains: “Vitamin D is different because even though we call it a vitamin, it is actually a hormone and we can make it in our body.” They continue: “A supplement only needs to contain 10 micrograms to meet the recommendation” *. And just 100g of Millac Gold Double with Added Vitamin D, provides an incredible 15% of the Reference Intake of vitamin D. Therefore, by adding Millac Gold Double to menus, caterers have a simple and effective way to boost vitamin D levels during these colder months. 

 
Paul Chmielewski, Head of Marketing and International at Lakeland Dairies adds,

‘As the only cream alternative with real dairy cream and added vitamin D, we believe Millac Gold Double is a complete solution and a delicious way to boost vitamin D levels during the cold season. Our new piping kit is a fun free resource to support our industry and care caterers at this difficult time.’’

Apart from its added vitamin D, Millac Gold Double differentiates itself with its functional excellence and great taste. Lakeland Dairies is a 100% farmer-owned dairy co-operative with a proud heritage of excellence in dairy farming.
