Sysco, the Irish foodservice provider, is continuing to champion local brands adding two of Northern Ireland’s most renowned food producers, award-winning yoghurt producer Clandeboye Estate Yoghurt and family-run artisan bakery The Yellow Door, to its portfolio.
These new listings build on the high-profile local producers announced in July and will see Sysco bring a varied selection of Clandeboye Estate yoghurts and a curated range of Yellow Door’s handcrafted artisan breads to its 11,000+ customer base of foodservice operators across the island.
“Both brands reflect the very best food production in Northern Ireland, with family heritage, authentic craftsmanship, and products that truly stand out at their heart,” said Joanne Cunningham, merchandising director of Sysco.
“These partnerships further strengthen our commitment to supporting exceptional local producers while offering our customers even more premium choices.”
Clandeboye Estate Yoghurt
First launched at the Balmoral Show in 2008, Clandeboye Estate Yoghurt, which was founded by Lady Dufferin, produces a range of locally made yoghurts using high quality milk from an award-winning herd of pedigree Holstein and Jersey cows.
Since then, the brand has grown significantly and its products have won numerous accolades including three stars in the Great Taste Awards, Gold in The Blás na hÉireann, and UK and Irish Quality Food Awards.
“At Clandeboye, we produce an award-winning range of natural and Greek-style yoghurts, crafted with fresh whole milk from County Down at our creamery in Bangor,” said Patrick Black, commercial director at Clandeboye Estate Yoghurt.
“We’re delighted to be working with Sysco, a company that shares our commitment to quality and sustainability.”
The Yellow Door
Established over 30 years ago, The Yellow Door is a family-run food business with roots in artisan baking and outside catering.
The company operates a dedicated bakery alongside a well-established catering division, supplying a range of handcrafted breads, pastries, and desserts. Production is based on traditional artisan techniques, with products made from scratch using locally sourced ingredients and without additives or preservatives.
“This collaboration allows us to bring our range of handmade, quality-driven products to even more customers and local tables,” said Gary Dougan, bakery manager at The Yellow Door.
“Together, we’re championing artisan quality and celebrating the best of local produce.”
Both Clandeboye Estate Yoghurt and The Yellow Door products are now available to order through Sysco Ireland.
