Only the best for a gourmet dairy

A complete dairy in the middle of Copenhagen relies on quality cultures VISITORS are in for a taste sensation out of the ordinary at the new micro dairy of a new gourmet house at Denmark's famed Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. Fresh organic milk milked a few hours ago, creamy yogurts that have been given the time to develop slowly and naturally, and homemade churned butter with special sun-dried salt from France ?these are just a few of the delicacies now available at the first dairy of the world famous amusement park, Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark. Opened on May 1, the new micro dairy is located at the "Nimb", a gourmet house that pays homage to two sisters, Henriette and Serina Nimb, who ran the original "jewel of the Tivoli Gardens". The building underwent extensive renovation to restore the famous facade facing Tivoli to its original appearance circa 1909. The revival of Tivoli landmark is also a homage to the best of Danish cooking, which relies on the richness of Denmark's natural produce, such as its traditionally excellent dairy, quality organic fruit and vegetables and fresh seafood from its surrounding waters. In fact, the 2008 French Michelin Guide awarded a total of 12 stars to Copenhagen restaurants, more Michelin stars than any other city in Scandinavia. Only the best is good enough Passion for only the best is the concept for Nimb: "What if one day you were to open your own hotel. Would you settle for second best, or would you insist on having things your way, even if it meant doing most of them yourself?" And this concept is behind the recipe for the ambitious transformation of the Tivoli landmark: a delicatessen with its own dairy, kitchen and chocolate production, an gourmet restaurant run by Thomas Herman, former chef at a number Copenhagen's most renowned restaurants a more informal brasserie, social and conference facilities, a large Italian-style wine cellar ?and a boutique hotel with 14 luxury suites. Run by one of the most respected Danish producers and importers of fine foods, L鴊ismose, only the best raw materials get through the eye of the needle. Pure indulgence The enjoyment of premium meals made of handpicked raw materials and based on the finest craftsman principles is the cornerstone of the new gourmet house. At the Nimb Mejeri (Dairy), organic raw milk will be brought in on a daily basis. Here fresh milk will be bottled, butter will be churned, and yogurt, fresh cheese and "Funen" smoked cheese will be produced. The dairy supplies the restaurants and the deli shops with fresh second-to-none homemade dairy products every day: ?Yogurt/Greek yogurt ?Soured whole milk ?Butter ?Buttermilk ?Cottage cheese ?Sour cream ?Fresh milk ?Chocolate milk Choosing from Chr. Hansen's collection of lactic acid bacteria ?the world's largest ?the dairy manager can produce exactly the yogurt, fresh cheese or butter as required, obtaining the distinctive taste the chef wants to present to his guests. In addition to uncompromising quality, these dairy cultures ensure convenience, where consistency and control in production; one of the reasons that the world-leading natural ingredients supplier was chosen for this partnership. Exciting new products are already being planned with Chr. Hansen ?for instance fruity probiotic (health promoting) whey shots.
