*Greek Gods, a US company founded in 2003 by three friends to produce authentic Greek style products, has launched Greek Gods Baklava Pagoto Ice Krema. *

The new product combines a honey cream base with a mixture of walnuts, almonds and cinnamon.

Using organic milk, Greek Gods Pagoto Ice Krema is made the traditional Greek way, using wholesome ingredients and mastic resin.

Mastic (also know as Chios Tears) comes from mastic trees grown in six villages (Mastichochoria) in the south of the small Greek island of Chios and is known for its health properties. People in the Mediterranean region have used mastic as a medicine for gastrointestinal ailments for several thousand years.

Greek Gods has also introduced a reduced fat vanilla cinnamon orange yogurt.

It is made with fresh pasteurised milk and cream to produce a velvety smooth and creamy textured yogurt, infused with vanilla and the subtle hint of cinnamon and orange zest.

It is claimed to have all the smoothness and creaminess of traditional Greek yogurt but with less than half the fat and is packed in 170g tubs.
