Thixendale-based family business, Charlie & Ivy's has sent four of its best-selling Bread Dippers and four Mayonnaises to Fine Food Importer and Distributor, Dovetale Collections, who will ship them all over Canada from their base in Ontario.

"The team at Dovetale search the world for the finest examples of speciality food and partner with producers they're inspired by. We're really pleased to be working with a company that shares our passion for provenance and look forward to introducing Canadians to a taste of Yorkshire," said Business Development Manager, Richard Sharp.
