It’s really tasty, and available in vanilla and strawberry flavours so you can mix and match the sundae according to how you’re feeling. The strawberry flavour is swirled with strawberry sauce, both looks and tastes great. We really love the texture of this fro-yo: light and fluffy. yoomoo is also available as frozen lollies, in mixed berry, strawberry and tropical flavours.

A sundae is perfect for that.The consumer sector is one of PAI’s core target areas for investment, having successfully invested in leading food and consumer businesses including: Yoplait, one of the top 20 global consumer brands; United Biscuits, the largest biscuits manufacturer in the UK; and Chr.
