Yorkshire / UK. (rf) Regal Food Products Group PLC is set to boost its chilled desserts offer with the acquisition of artisan cheesecake makers, «Love Cheesecakes». Based in Lancaster, Love Cheesecakes specialises in handcrafting over 100 premium cheesecakes for wholesale, food services and the hospitality sector. Focusing on single serve and canapé style cheesecakes, the bakery also sells directly to consumers through event catering, attending festivals and other large outdoor events.
