Dale Farm secures first cheese export contract to Japan

摘要

The UK's leading dairy farmer cooperative, Northern Ireland based Dale Farm, has secured its first cheese export deal in the Japanese market, signing what it described as a 'significant contract' with major food manufacturer Hoko Co Ltd. Hoko will be importing Dromona Cheddar for use in its cheese production process, through which it seeks to bring the taste of natural Cheddar to the Japanese consumer. Hoko Co Ltd sells dairy and frozen foods into the retail, wholesale and catering sectors. The company imports high quality natural Cheddar cheese from across the globe which is then processed to create cheese products suited to the tastes and dietary preferences of the Japanese consumer. The company will now use Dromona cheese for this purpose following a visit to Dale Farm's cheddar production facility at Dunman-bridge, Cookstown, Northern Ireland earlier this year.
