It All Started In Paris !

Over 20 Years Ago The Inspiration For Velvet Cloud Started In Paris - We Went Back Down Memory Lane Last Week

 

We had a wonderful half-term trip to Paris last week, where the idea for Velvet Cloud (and the first junior shepherd) was born over 20 years ago. It's so exciting to see so many sheep's milk products on the shelves now, from yogurts to desserts, to fresh sheep's milk cheeses. When we lived there it was just sheep's milk yogurts. So we've come back with lots of ideas and motivation to keep going.

Of course, we also did a bit of sightseeing and lots and lots of eating and drinking :) And the junior shepherds were fit to kill us,  with all the selfies we wanted to take, (as you can see from their expressions)!
