Tasmanian Heritage Traditional Camembert and Connoisseur Caramel Honey Macadamia ice cream were named 2008 Grand Champions, along with 18 class champions from almost every Australian state.
Premium dairy foods from across the country were celebrated at an awards ceremony at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne on February 5.
Now in their ninth year, the awards presented by Dairy Australia have become the foremost honour of the dairy foods industry.
This year, Roland Perrin, Professor in Food Technology at France’s National Dairy School, was on the judging panel.
Chief judge Neil Willman, supported by highly qualified technical experts, cheesemakers, providores, food media and chefs undertook blind tastings to ensure the credibility and integrity of the awards.
This year’s awards comprised more than 360 entries representing 90 Australian dairy manufacturers.
Australian Grand Dairy Award winners have the right to incorporate prestigious symbols on their packaging – helping consumers identify the ‘best-of-the-best’.
