Based near Bangor in county Down, Clandeboye sources milk for its award-winning yoghurts from the estate’s own herd of grass-fed pedigree dairy cattle.
The company, which has won a host of UK Great Taste Awards, recently announced an £2 million investment to expand its yoghurt business and create 13 jobs.
It is currently building a factory on the grounds of Clandeboye Estate, which will help it to increase the production of its yoghurt and grow sales in international markets.
