As of this Monday, the Irish-made yoghurt brand is available to British shoppers from Sainsbury’s 150 supermarkets across Britain and Northern Ireland, Glenilen Farm said in a statement.
The Drimoleague, Co Cork farm, which processes its own milk and that of neighbouring suppliers, was already listed in the UK by Waitrose and speciality retailers, but the Sainsbury’s deal marks a shift in the scale of its British presence.
