What happened
Morelli, Ireland’s oldest ice cream producer, is significantly expanding its presence in Sainsbury’s stores this autumn.

This expansion utilizes Northern Irish double cream and Irish creamery butter, and also includes the introduction of a new Belgian Chocolate Chip flavor.

Why it matters

Businesses in Northern Ireland supply customers in Ireland, involving active economic supply chains between the two regions.
