A YORK ice cream producer is pushing the reach of its new drinks brand after winning a listing with an international distributor.

Yorlife kefir, produced by the makers of Acaster Malbis-based Yorvale Icecream, has won a listing with London based distributor Marigold Health Foods to supply international retailer Whole Food Markets across the UK.

The deal, which comes just over a year after the brand was launched, is set to further expand the presence in the south of the Country.

Yorlife kefir, which is a fermented milk drink made on the family farm and is known for its probiotic properties, has already won contracts to supply all LEON restaurants in London with both flavoured lines of their kefir and is also listed with Scottish distributor, Greencity Wholefoods.
