LLYN Peninsula-based yogurts supplier Daffodil Foods has secured an exciting opportunity with Lidl.

A range of three muesli-based yogurts landed in Lidl stores across UK last month as Daffodil Foods prepares to diversify into other dairy products.

Lynne King, Daffodil Foods director, said: “For those who are not in-the-know to what Bircher Muesli actually is, imagine soaking up the oats – gluten-free in our case – in fruit juice and mixing them with yogurt and other fruits.

"You end up with a nutritious breakfast staple packed with dairy, fibre and carbohydrates, all in one pot and easy to eat on the go. It’s basically a summer version of the porridge.”

Lidl has launched three different flavours: cherry and blueberry, apple and raspberry, and exotic mango and passion fruit.

“As a relatively young business, we were very excited about this venture,” added Ms King.

“We are all for natural, wholesome and innovative dairy products, so it is needless to say that we were overjoyed when Lidl saw our Bircher as bang on trend and decided to put it into their range.”

Bircher Yogurt has grown in popularity as a balanced breakfast-on-the-go, thanks largely to the word of food bloggers

Daffodil Foods has seen a double-digit growth in sales over the last three years and the Llyn company hopes the Lidl contract will aid that growth further.
