Baboo Gelato, manufacturer of award-winning dog frozen treat Doggy Doggy Yum Yum, has just celebrated its 10th birthday in style with employees, distributors, suppliers and customers all wishing them a Happy Birthday on video footage currently being shown on its website and social media.
Founded by husband-and-wife team Annie and Sam Hanbury, the company began in 2016 after they returned to the UK and settled in West Dorset with an overgrown market garden. Faced with a glut of backyard raspberries, Annie made a simple batch of sorbet from an old cookbook. Inspired by the result, she trained as a professional gelatiere at the Carpigiani University of Gelato in Bologna, Italy.
What started as a kitchen experiment has turned into a business that is now one of the finest artisans gelaterias in the country.
Baboo’s guiding principle is 'ingredients, ingredients, ingredients'. Baboo Gelato is a Taste of the West Champion and a Great Taste Producer with three of their products having won coveted Three Star awards.
Baboo Gelato has also created an award-winning frozen ice cream treat for dogs following demand from their customers. Knowing that dogs struggle to digest lactose, they developed a safe, dairy-free alternative called Doggy Doggy Yum Yum.
