Dragon Cheese Lands in Aldi Stores Across Wales in Time for St David’s Day


Dragon cheese will be available in Aldi stores throughout Wales this March in time to celebrate St David’s Day.

Wales’s largest dairy co-operative, South Caernarfon Creameries (SCC), has recently secured distribution of Dragon to all major supermarkets in Wales with their newest partnership with Aldi.

With more than 70 Aldi stores located across Wales and the borders, securing a deal with the multinational supermarket chain further solidifies Dragon’s position within the retail sector, SCC said.

Nick Beadman, Head of Commercial at SCC, said:

“We are incredibly proud to introduce Dragon to a wider audience through our partnership with Aldi. This expansion into all major supermarkets in Wales not only increases the availability of Dragon but also supports Welsh farmers and promotes the rich dairy heritage of Wales. The partnership with our retailers reflects a shared commitment to quality, community, and sustainability.”

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director for Buying at Aldi UK, added:

“We are delighted to partner with South Caernarfon Creameries, bringing Dragon to all our customers across Wales. This collaboration allows us to offer a unique and high-quality product that celebrates the rich cultural heritage of Wales, and just in time for St David's Day.”
