Sky to scoop
A Mackie's spokesperson said: "While some of the team were initially quite nervous – it was made fun by Gregg’s chat and the friendly film and sound crew. We found it very interesting to see how much work goes in to making the programme, a busy three full days of filming was required for the one-hour episode!"
Beginning his tour with a visit to the byre, Gregg sees how the cows are able milk themselves. After this, he helps make some honeycomb in the ‘sweetie kitchen’ and follows his batch over to the mixing process in the ice cream dairy.
The episode displays Mackie's “Sky to Scoop” ethos, showing how they manage each stage of the process on site, using renewable energy from wind turbines and solar panels to power the ice cream dairy and to make their own packaging.
