A LUXURIOUS and unique brand of dairy-based ice cream using full-milk will be the first to travel via a Redditch company's newly launched frozen consolidation scheme platform.
Based in Beoley, Oakland International is a multi temperature supply chain specialist in the field of contract packing, storage and logistics, who over the last decade has mainly focused on chilled and ambient products.
However, following enquiries from the Chatsworth estate-based Cowhouse Diary, needing to secure a cost effective route to market for their unique and creamy brand of Udder Stuff ice cream, Oakland has developed and launched a new frozen consolidation scheme service.
European sales manager at Oakland International, Luci O'Connor, said: “After being ‘on hold’ for the past couple of years whilst chilled and ambient took main focus, Oakland is delighted to launch this new frozen consolidation scheme service.
"Having met the Sutton family and Lucy the cow, we are delighted to be working with The Cowhouse Dairy.”
Husband and wife team, Malcolm and Kate Sutton, together with their two sons, Richard and William, run The Cowhouse Dairy. Since 1898, Postern Lodge Farm has been the home of the Sutton family.
Both Malcolm’s father and grandfather were farmers with the business remaining a family affair. The farm’s 130-strong Shottle Holstein herd produces the milk to create the family’s wholesome and unique brand of Udder Stuff and the prestigious Chatsworth ice cream. Made from full-milk, cream, eggs, sugar and other natural ingredients, Udder Stuff ice cream has a distinctive, rich, creamy flavour.
Malcolm said: “Working with Oakland has given The Cowhouse Diary the opportunity to expand into major markets by providing a reliable consolidation service for our ice cream.”
