Lewis Road Creamery's hallowed chocolate milk will be on South Island supermarket shelves from September 2.

Lewis Road Creamery will launch two new flavours when the company's hugely popular chocolate milk finally goes on sale in the South Island in September.

The producer of the famous Lewis Road Creamery Fresh Chocolate Milk, which caused a frenzy in North Island supermarkets at the end of 2014, confirmed the product would be on Mainland shelves from September 2.

The chocolate-flavoured milk would be accompanied by two new flavours, a spokeswoman said. These would not be revealed until the products were on shelves.

The chocolate milk has been available in the North Island since October.

Construction of a second milk processing plant in Mangatawhiri, in the Waikato, meant the company could finally supply eager South Island customers.

In March, Lewis Road Creamery's marketing director Angela Weeks said the creamery produced 35,000-40,000 litres of chocolate milk a week.

The new plant would boost the dairy's total milk processing production by 100,000 litres a day.
