The new frozen yogurt has a fat content of just 4% and has been developed by the company to meet the growing trend towards healthier desserts, particularly among women and young people.
The ice cream maker has teamed up with another Northern Ireland artisan dairy business, Clandeboye Estate Yoghurt in Bangor, county Down, to develop the new product.
Morelli is using Clandeboye’s popular Greek-style yogurt and has added two flavours, Strawberry and Amarena Cherry.
Morelli also has plans to make frozen yogurt more widely available and is exploring opportunities for a product using a sugar replacement. The company already supplies a diabetes-friendly ice cream using fructose as a sugar replacement.
Morelli currently offers 40 ice cream flavours, a number of which it supplies to major retailers such as Tesco and Sainsbury’s.
