After already enjoying great success with their range of coconut ice cream, founding duo Tommy and James saw the oncoming need for a family friendly, dairy free option that actually tasted great. Two years on and Little Island is the category leader, offering both an Original variant for consumers and a Barista Grade variant which recently become the sole coconut milk supplied to Starbucks nationwide.
Globally, non-dairy milk consumption is growing by double digits and is showing no sign of slowing down.
