Papaphilippou & Patisserie Panayiotis Ice Cream Ltd, also known as P&P Ice Cream, is the leading manufacturer of ice cream and related products in Cyprus www.papafilipou.com

Our story began in the mid 60’s from a desire to create the finest, all-natural ice cream with the purest, farm fresh ingredients. The quality of our products made us popular right from the start. Today, we serve ice cream lovers locally and internationally, offering a 100% pure indulgence.

The idea of creating Max & Frida Gourmet Frozen Dessert was inspired by our own dogs. We are a big dog loving family who is really passionate about our four-legged family members.

We eat a lot of ice cream every day and night but, unfortunately, there was no frozen treat available to share with them. As good dog parents, we couldn’t bear to watch them beg for ice cream. We knew that dairy and sugar are not good for them. That’s how we decided to make a dog-friendly frozen dessert that our furry friends could enjoy all year round!

We consulted with some outstanding vets and our good friend Maria, a great animal nutritionist and a dog lover herself, to help us create this nutritious and healthful frozen treat. After two years of a long research & development, taste testing and approval by our own picky four-legged gourmets, we came up with a delicious recipe that we know your best friend will love! Then we decided to name it after two of our family dogs whom we love so much. And that’s how Max & Frida Gourmet Frozen Dessert was born.

Now we know that we can give our dogs a frozen treat that is really good for their health and we can eat our ice cream without feeling guilty that they can’t have their own.

To create the finest, all natural gourmet frozen dessert for dogs, using only the purest, most wholesome human grade ingredients and lots of love! To serve our four legged friends locally and internationally, offering the ultimate indulgence!

We add nothing to our premium frozen treat to interfere with purity and perfection....no sugar, no preservatives, no colours, no artificial ingredients, no artificial flavours.

Ice Cream is defined as a frozen food made from a mixture of dairy products, such as milk, cream and nonfat milk, combined with sugar and flavourings, such as fruits, nuts and chocolate chips. Thus, our treat is called frozen dessert, instead of ice cream, since it doesn’t contain any dairy, chocolate or sugar which are not good for dogs.

We manufacture Max & Frida Gourmet Frozen Dessert in our ice cream factory, on the Mediterranean Island of Cyprus, along with our “human” ice cream. We currently produce two flavours, Vanilla & Honey and Coconut & Honey. Each flavour is sold separately in multipacks of 400 ml / 260 g, containing four cups of 100 ml / 65 g.

  1. Ice cream storage facilities should be capable of maintaining product temperature of -23°C or colder. In addition, they should be of sufficient size to provide for proper stock control and rotation.
     
  2. Storage facilities should have sufficient circulation of refrigerated air. Ice cream should be on a pallet or other means of providing adequate air circulation between the bottom product and the floor. To permit air circulation, sufficient space should be allowed between stacks and walls.
     
  3. Frozen storage facilities should be defrosted as necessary to maintain refrigeration efficiency . Product should be protected during defrosting; if practical, it should be removed to another freezer during defrosting. Otherwise, product should be effectively covered or removed from beneath areas of accumulated frost.
     
  4. The cold storage should be equipped with a numerically scaled indicating or recording thermometer. The sensing element should be located to measure the air temperature in the warmest part of each facility, and the scale should be easily readable. Check thermometer readings frequently.
     
  5. Rotate inventory on a “first - in - first - out” (FIFO) basis.
     
  6. Shelf life is 18 months
  1. All vehicles used to transport ice cream, e.g. trucks, trailers or containers, railcars, ships, should be:
     
    1. Clean and free from dirt, debris, offensive odors, or any substances that could, with reasonable possibility, contaminate the product;
       
    2. Constructed, insulated and equipped with adequate refrigeration capacity and air delivery system to continuously maintain product temperature of -23°C or colder.
       
    3. Equipped with tight-fitting doors and suitable closure for drain holes to prevent air leakage;
       
    4. Pre-cooled for 25 minutes prior to loading. The object of pre-cooling is to establish a gradient across the insulation; from -23°C on the inner surface to the temperature of the outer skin;
       
    5. Equipped with an appropriate temperature recording device to accurately measure the air temperature inside the vehicle. The dial or reading element of the device should be mounted in a readily visible position.
       
  2. The thermostat on the vehicle’s refrigeration unit should be set to maintain an air temperature of -23°C or colder.
     
  3. Proper airflow or air circulation must be maintained on all six sides of the load. This -23°C or colder envelope around the load is a function of the vehicle’s air delivery system and proper loading of the vehicle.

OUR HEALTHY INGREDIENTS:
 

Local Honey

Honey is considered by veterinarians and animal nutritionists as the best natural sweetener for dogs. It is not only tasty but extremely healthful and nutritious. Honey is rich in vitamins (A, B complex, B1, B2, B5, B6, B9, C, D, E, K, Niacin), and various minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium, manganese, iron, copper, sulfur etc.). In addition, it contains flavonoids, which are health-enhancing antioxidants.

Benefits of Honey for Dogs

  • Reduces the risk of cancer & heart attacks
  • Supports immune system
  • Fights infections and symptoms
  • Aids in digestion
  • Prevents allergies
  • Heals ulcers and bacterial gastroenteritis
  • Decreases inflammation in the intestinal tract
  • Increases the absorption of calcium
  • Prevents bone diseases such as osteoporosis
  • Prevents and relieves arthritis
  • Boosts energy levels
  • Improves blood circulation
  • Prevents premature aging
  • Prevents constipation
  • Heals diarrhea

 

Coconut Cream

As pet owners, we always look for natural ingredients that may improve our dogs’ health. One ingredient that has been shown to be especially beneficial is coconut. This fruit contains good fatty acids called Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) which regulate and balance insulin and thyroid levels. The main component (more than 40%) of MCTs is lauric acid, followed by capric acid, caprylic acid, myristic acid and palmitic. The lauric acid has anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties. Capric and caprylic acids have similar properties and are best known for their anti-fungal effects. Additionally, coconut contains albumin, a water-soluble protein which significantly assists in the formation of red blood cells.

Benefits of Coconut for Dogs

  • Reduces the risks of cancer
  • Supports and maintains healthy skin condition
  • Strengthens immune system
  • Helps prevent and treat infections (e.g. yeast infections) and infectious diseases (e.g. canine influenza)
  • Improves digestion and nutrient absorption
  • Balances metabolism rate and keeps weight under control
  • Prevents and relieves symptoms of arthritis
  • Reduces bad breath and odor

 

Organic Linseed Oil (Flaxseed Oil)

Linseed oil comes from the seeds of the flax plant. It is an excellent source of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. It’s also very rich in the essential vitamin E which works as a powerful antioxidant for dogs. Due to its high content of Omega 3 (50-60%), most veterinarians recommend feeding our dogs linseed oil every day which can do wonders for their overall health.

Benefits of Linseed Oil for Dogs

  • Prevents and treats cancer
  • Prevents and controls allergies
  • Supports immune, circulatory & digestive systems
  • Prevents heart disease
  • Maintains healthy joints and muscles
  • Prevents kidney disease
  • Provides an excellent energy source
  • Assists in calming behaviour
  • Maintains healthy skin
  • Prevents constipation
  • Improves milk production in lactating dogs

 

Sunflower Seed Oil

Most veterinarians recommend giving your dogs sunflower oil which benefits their health in several ways. Sunflower oil can help improve:

  1. Heart health: Sunflower oil helps improve the health of your dog’s cardiovascular system by reducing LDL cholesterol, which is harmful to their heart, and boosting the efficacy of the “good” cholesterol, HDL.
  2. Immune function: Inflammation can result from an issue in your dog’s immune system. The omega-6 fatty acids in sunflower oil can help to reduce inflammation levels and, in turn, improve immune system response.
  3. Skin and coat health: Sunflower oil is also rich in antioxidants and vitamins. The oil contains vitamin E, which keeps your dog’s skin healthy and regulates hair growth, and vitamin A, which prevents dry skin by promoting new skin cell growth. It’s also a great source of vitamin C, which helps wounds heal faster.

 

Vegetable Fibres (Chicory, Acacia)

Chicory & Acacia Fibres are both pure, soluble vegetable fibres with healthful prebiotic benefits for dogs. They are also used to provide body and texture in our frozen dessert. The most beneficial action of soluble fibres is to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglyceride levels and to increase HDL (good) cholesterol.

Benefits of Vegetable Fibres for Dogs

  • Reduce the risks of coronary heart disease
  • Regulate blood sugar levels & help prevent canine diabetes
  • Promote intestinal health
  • Support immune & digestive systems
  • Support a healthy brain
  • Reduce the signs of osteoarthritis
  • Improve the absorption of calcium, magnesium and iron
  • Increase satiety and reduce weight

 

Rice Protein

Our rice protein is a high quality and concentrated protein with a protein content of more than 80%, which is produced in Europe from non-GMO raw materials sources.

Similar to humans, many dogs suffer with gastrointestinal issues which can be caused by a food allergy or an intolerance.

With unique protein and carbohydrate sources, limited-ingredient diets reduce the number of potential triggering allergens in the end product. As a hypoallergenic, clean label ingredient that is free from the most frequent food allergens, rice protein is well suited for use in such diets.

In pet foods when high digestibility is required, rice protein is also the ideal ingredient. It has shown an apparent digestibility of 87% in dogs, making it not only attractive for pets with allergies, but also for sensitive pets such as puppies and older animals.

Among plant proteins, the rice protein has the highest essential amino acids content which is required to promote long-term health for adult dogs.

Furthermore, it is also a good source of methionine/cysteine and phenylalanine/tyrosine, which are involved in some major metabolic processes as well as supporting a pet’s normal growth.

 

Ground Peruvian Carob Seeds

Carob seeds are 100% natural and healthy for dogs that gives them great health benefits. They are also used as a natural stabiliser in our frozen dessert. Carob seeds help improve blood circulation, lower cholesterol levels, promote better calcium absorption, and aid in eliminating toxins from the body. Carob seeds are also good sources of iron, calcium, magnesium, niacin, pectin and vitamin B2. They also contain vitamins B1, A and D.

There are also three types of antioxidants found in carob seeds: flavonoids, phenolic acids and tannins. Antioxidants in carob help in protecting against free radicals which can cause damage to cells and are linked to ageing and a host of diseases.

 

Pure Madagascar Vanilla Extract

Our Vanilla & Honey frozen dessert is flavoured with the finest quality, pure Madagascar vanilla extract to make it tastier for dogs.

Vanilla extract contains essential oils, essential vitamins such as B1, B2, B5, B6, and niacin and minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, iron and zinc. According to studies it contains strong antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic and anti-aging properties.

Benefits of Vanilla Extract for Dogs

  • Prevents and treats cancer
  • Prevents premature aging
  • Fights infections
  • Reduces inflammation
  • Lowers blood pressure
  • Relieves digestion problems
  • Assists in the maintenance of healthy skin
