Multi-awarded Gippsland Dairy Pure Double Cream has claimed the Grand Champion Dairy Product title in the nation’s foremost dairy competition. Dairy products from across the country were recognised at an awards ceremony in Melbourne on February 18. The ceremony marked a decade of the awards presented by Dairy Australia to promote quality, excellence and innovation in Australian dairy foods. “All entrants were gold medal winners in numerous qualifying competitions staged across Australia during 2008,” said Richard Lange, Dairy Australia‘s head of marketing and communications. “These prestigious awards provide independent endorsement for the winners and help consumers identify the best-of-the-best.“ Gippsland Dairy Pure Double Cream is crafted from Gippsland milk and has gained the champion dairy food title once before in 2007 and also won the 2009 award for the best Cream.
