This year, the Qualité Awards saw an experienced team of 63 dairy specialists tasting and judging products entered in categories for butter, cheese, yoghurt, flavoured milks, ice cream and dairy desserts. Along with this team, for the first time, food editors from well-known consumer magazines and celebrity chefs assisted the judging panel with their decision-making.
This year's Dairy Product of the year was awarded to Dalewood for its six-month matured Hugenot cheese.
Fair Cape Dairies, manufacturers of Fair Cape Eco- Fresh milk and dairy products, as well as both Checkers Choice and Woolworths products dominated this year's yoghurt category whilst achieving an overall total on 18 awards.
