Anti-Ageing ice cream with fruit flavors

Anti-Ageing ice cream with fruit flavors

Eat ice cream and look younger at the same time.

Camps Bay, Cape Town, South Africa (PRWEB) January 16, 2004

A South African company, the Renewal Centre - who bill themselves as South Africa's Antidote to Stress, brought a whole new meaning to therapy and a unique South African sensory experience, in their announcement of their world first range of organic Vinetherapy™ Ice Creams using the same fruit flavours that are used as descriptors for wine, with flecks of grape seed extract which offer anti-oxidant properties.

All good upmarket wines are described using fruit, like cherry, blackcherry, black currant, strawberry, blueberry, liquorice, anise, mint, chocolate, guava, gooseberry, vanilla, peach, apricot, pear, fig and honey. Now this same approach towards using fruits as wine descriptors, is being brought to the arena of ice cream, elevating ice cream into a whole new stratosphere of flavours, like:

Vinetherapy™Chardonnay Grape with Fig & Honey - Reserve 2004

Bold, ripe, smooth and creamy. A real mouthful of the Chardonnay grape. Its tiers of ripe pear, fig, and honey flavours have resulted in a beautifully crafted ice cream, with a rich butterscotch aftertaste that still has all those delicious flavours chiming in. It is irresistible!

Vinetherapy™ Chardonnay Grape with Peach & Pear - 2004

Bright with fruit and supple in texture, this harmonious white velvety smooth ice cream has a generous dose of peach and pear flavours and a hint of honey on the finish. This ice cream is "very good, an ice cream with special qualities," and this Chardonnay fruit offers virtues without flaws. Stellenbosch is known for a full-bodied, ripe style of winemaking, and that heritage is reflected in this ice cream's "supple" texture, "generous" fruit flavours and "hint of honey". You'll remember it for the rest of your life.

Vinetherapy™ CABERNET SAUVIGNON Grape with Black Cherry & Raspberry Private Bin 2004

DEVELOPMENT HISTORY

Normal metabolism releases destructive oxygen molecules called free radicals into the body. On a daily basis we are all exposed to additional destructive free radicals from pollution, smoke, alcohol, contaminated water, sunlight, stress and tension.

It is now commonly known from research, that free radicals are largely responsible for our aging process by being implicated in cardiovascular diseases, memory loss, vision loss, arthritis, certain cancers and sports injuries. Free radicals can be described as the cause of "biological rusting". 80% of skin aging is due to the effect of free radicals. They kill off our cells, and therefore cause premature aging. (It is free radicals that make our fruit go brown).

Everyone therefore needs to combat free radicals, by the use of Anti-oxidants, which reduce oxidative damage. Research has proven that Grape-seed extract is the best antioxidant available. Studies have proven that it is a more powerful reducer of free radical induced cell damage than vitamin C, E, and B-carotene. Some of the biological active flavonoids found in red grape seeds, posses up to 20 to 50 times more antioxidant activity than vitamins C and E respectively.
