The international catering company, which is based near Heathrow in London and provides over 200 million meals a year to more than 270 customers at 120 airport locations around the globe, has included two of Fivemiletown’s award winning goats’ cheese products in menus for a major airline, Boilie Irish goats’ cheese pearls and mild goats’ log.
Owen Jones, Fivemiletown Creamery’s business development manager, said: “Being chosen by Gate Gourmet for meals is a marvellous endorsement of the quality of our Boilie goats’ cheese pearls and our goats’ log. Both products have won Great Taste and International Cheese Festival awards. Boilie in particular is developing into a major international success because it is marinaded to provide a rich and distinctive flavour that’s ideal for salads.
“The contract with Gate Gourmet is strategically important for us because it represents very significant business for us in foodservice, a sector that we’ve targeted for faster growth with high profile clients outside Northern Ireland.”
The creamery has experienced a five-fold increase in sales of its range of soft cheeses to major retailers, independents, delis and foodservice organisations particularly in Great Britain and Ireland over the last year.
