A POPULAR Scottish ice cream is moving production 150 miles away from its original site to North Yorkshire.
Cream o' Galloway, which was launched in 1994, was bought by Brymor a year ago.
It continued making the ice cream at the farm near Gatehouse of Fleet throughout 2024, but the new owners said the farm was "tired and required significant new investment".
In a statement on Cream o' Galloway's website, Brymor confirmed it was consolidating manufacturing to its site outside Masham in Yorkshire to "benefit from newer, more efficient equipment".
A rebrand may also be in the works as the logo for Cream o' Galloway includes the phrase "made on the farm".
The statement said: "Over 2024, the manufacturing continued at the farm with no changes, which allowed us to understand the brand, customers, and manufacturing processes.
"It was evident from the outset that the manufacturing equipment and the whole site was tired and required significant new investment. Therefore, we are consolidating the manufacturing to the Brymor site.
"Brymor has over 40 years’ experience in ice cream manufacturing and can provide a wealth of knowledge to continue to produce this much loved range of real dairy ice cream.
"By manufacturing at Brymor the brand will benefit from newer, more efficient equipment, as well as benefiting from the sustainable and environmentally friendly resources that Brymor has implemented over the last four years.
"Our goal is to continue to produce a high quality, real dairy ice cream made on the farm, using creamy whole milk and high quality ingredients."
The company also said it would continue to distribute the Cream o' Galloway range from "Ashland’s, Twynholm, outside Castle Douglas, so that we can service our valued customers and Scotland, Northumberland and Cumbria".
The Cream o' Galloway ice cream parlour will also move to be within the nearby Cocoabean Company.
