Cottage cheese has been making a comeback of late, and as a result Scotmid is now offering two new products in stores.
The humble dairy staple has been taking over social media feeds amongst health-conscious consumers looking for being a high protein, versatile ingredient.
Now, Yester Farm Dairies, a third-generation family business run by husband-and-wife team Simon and Jackie McCreery, will see its ’field to fridge’ cottage cheeses launch in Scotmid. Making the journey in just two days, its approach “helps maximise freshness, reduce food miles and ensure full traceability,” it said, helping the business stand out in Scotmid’s Scottish Favourites competition.
The move marks the biggest retail rollout in the family business’s history and see the products reaching 120 Scotmid stores.
Scotmid’s Scottish Favourites initiative, delivered in partnership with Scotland Food & Drink, helps local producers grow by giving them access to retail shelves and new audiences.
Simon McCreery said: “We’re incredibly proud to have won a Scottish Favourites place and to now be launching into Scotmid stores across Scotland. It’s a fantastic opportunity for us, and we’re excited to see more customers discovering our products.”
Steve Addison, local sourcing manager at Scotmid, added: “Scottish Favourites is all about backing great local producers, and Yester Farm Dairies stood out for both quality and freshness.
“At a time when demand for high-protein foods is growing, it’s fantastic to be able to offer customers a locally produced option that’s made with care and reaches shelves quickly.”
Scotmid customers are now able to purchase Yester Farm’s Cottage Cheese and Soft Cheese priced at £1.79 for 300g and £2.19 for 300g respectively.
