More Tesco stores for York based ice cream maker

Directors and staff at York's only dairy ice cream producer are celebrating after increasing its Tesco listing from nine to 57 stores.

Fans of Yorvale's premium ice cream will now be able to buy 500ml tubs of Vanilla, Caramel Honeycomb and Strawberry dairy ice creams from selected Tesco stores throughout Yorkshire in addition to many independent retailers, farm shops and delis across the region.

The strawberry ice cream contains 55% fruit whilst the vanilla ice cream is made entirely from natural vanilla and the caramel honeycomb contains chocolate covered honeycomb nuggets and ripples of toffee sauce made to a bespoke recipe using double cream.

Tesco's Regional Buyer, Simon Wingfield, commented: "Yorvale is one of Yorkshire's fantastic local suppliers that we have supported since we began our local sourcing initiative and opened Tesco's Regional Buying Office in York in October 2007. Yorvale represent the very best of what's available on our doorstep and we're delighted that it's now available in more stores."

Yorvale's Sales Director, Lesley Buxton is delighted with the increased listing and said: "We produce an extensive range of dairy ice cream and real fruit sorbets for customers nationwide, but it's always good to get a big listing nearer home and to be able to reach local consumers"

Acaster Malbis based Yorvale uses traditional methods and the finest local ingredients to produce rich and creamy dairy ice cream.

Having celebrated their 25th anniversary in business this year, Yorvale was proud to be awarded the Taste of Excellence Award in Dairy for its Panna Cotta and Apricot ice cream at the annual Cream Awards earlier this month.
