South Caernarfon Creameries Partners with the Co-op
It is good to report some good news from the Welsh Dairy industry as South Caernarfon Creameries has recently secured a lucrative deal with the British consumer co-operative, the Co-op, to supply over 100 of their grocery stores across Wales with their award-winning Dragon Mature Cheddar cheese.
This is great news for the Dragon brand, which has been celebrated for its exceptional quality and taste and also earning 17 awards at prestigious food awards last year.
The Dragon cheese range is known for its rich flavour and Welsh heritage as it uses milk sourced 100% from Welsh farming members.
South Caernarfon Creameries is Wales’s oldest and largest dairy co-operative and has been farmer-owned since 1938. Michael Mort, National Account Manager expressed his delight about the partnership:
“We are proud to partner with Co-op, a retailer that shares our values of community and quality. This expansion allows us to reach more customers by supplying 106 stores with our 350g Dragon Mature Cheddar. We estimate around 15 tonnes a year of Dragon Cheddar being delivered offering shoppers a true taste of Wales. Our collaboration represents a union of values, where we share the same commitments to quality, community and sustainability – two co-operatives coming together united in purpose.”
The Co-op, short for The Co-operative Group Limited, is one of the world’s largest co-operatives. Established in 1844 and with over 5 million members, it has evolved and expanded with a range of retail businesses, including grocery, legal services, funerals and insurance.
