ICE cream producer Yummy Yorkshire has been appointed to supply York’s latest visitor attraction, Chocolate – York’s Sweet Story.

The Denby Dale-based company has also landed a deal to supply award-winning independent gourmet food store Lewis & Cooper.

Chocolate – York’s Sweet Story, which showcases the city’s confectionery-making heritage, will sell a selection of Yummy Yorkshire’s ice cream flavours on the cone including Midnight Mint, Double White Chocolate, Chocolate Wafer and Jaffa Cake.

Beckie Senior, of Chocolate – York’s Sweet Story, said: “As we tell the story of the confectionery manufacturers of York, we felt it important to source quality products from supply partners in York and the Yorkshire region and that we chose flavours that reflected the long history of chocolate in York.

“Yummy Yorkshire’s ice cream passed our rigorous taste tests with flying colours and we are very proud to sell their products in the Chocolate Bar.”

In a separate move, Yummy Yorkshire will be supplying take-away tubs of ice cream to the Harrogate branch of the award-winning independent gourmet food store Lewis & Cooper.

Up to 15 different flavours will be available, including Yummy Yorkshire’s award-winning Liquorice, Salted Caramel, Blueberry and Beetroot ice cream.

Jeremy Holmes, co-founder of Yummy Yorkshire, said: “We are thrilled to be supplying two such prestigious sites.”
