Creamy taste from Clandeboye for yoghurt lovers in Britain
Yoghurt lovers in Britain are now able to experience the superb quality and rich
creamy flavours from a multi-award-winning farm-based producer in Bangor, Co
Down of the dairy favourite
A FoodNI member, Clandeboye Estate, the only significant yoghurt producer in
Northern Ireland, will soon be on the shelves of delis, farm shops and
independent grocers across Britain from an important deal with a leading food
distribution business.
Cress Company, which is based in Dunfermline, Scotland, last week began
distributing Clandeboye’s full range of Greek-style yoghurts produced using milk
directly from the historic estate’s pedigree dairy herd.
Patrick Black, Clandeboye’s commercial manager, welcoming the deal for
distribution to England, Scotland and Wales, says: “We are thrilled to be
launching in these important markets with the Cress Company in what is an
important breakthrough into one that we’ve been targeting for some time,
especially with our new range of yoghurts which are already proving hugely
successful in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Clandeboye counts all the main supermarkets and convenience stores in
Northern Ireland and hundreds of delis, farm shops, butchers and independent
retailers among its regular customers. In the Republic, the company supplies
supermarkets such as Aldi, Lidl and Marks and Spencer.
“The Greek-style yoghurts are now included in CressCo’s 2025 chilled
catalogue. First orders left last Monday, and we are excited to get going,’ adds
Patrick.
The agreement gives Clandeboye extensive opportunities across the UK with a
respected and successful food distributor which has been voted the Best UK
Distributor for the past eight years by the influential Guild of Fine Food in
London.
“We look forward to working closely with the experienced CressCo team to grow
business throughout Britain,” adds Patrick.
Clandeboye Yoghurt is among Northern Ireland’s most ‘decorated’ companies
in terms of UK Great Taste, Blas na hEireann Irish National Food and Irish
Quality Food awards for its successful natural, Madagascan vanilla and various
flavoured yoghurts.
New products launched in the past year include a vanilla with honey and rich
flavours such as Bramley apple with granola and raspberry with white chocolate
pieces.
