Beston Global Food Company are pleased to announce the launch of our new, premium, high-value “Farmer’s Tribute” brand. The brand and its products align perfectly with our company purpose of “extracting the maximum value from precious milk, paying tribute to the farmers, and doing so in the most sustainable way”.

Farmers Tribute proudly showcases the very best of South Australian dairy. We honour the dedicated dairy farmers, their world class milk and respect for our rich, abundant natural environment. Farmers Tribute is a range of premium, artisan cheese and dairy products, hand crafted by our master cheese makers in the Murraylands.

Beston Foods Chief Executive Officer Fabrizio Jorge commented:

“The team and I are thrilled to bring our new Farmers Tribute brand to market and to consumers via our South Australian retail partners. The brand is perfectly aligned to our company purpose, pays tribute to our highly valued farmers, showcases our expert specialty cheesemaking talents, and accelerates our journey to higher value and branded retail.”

Milk is precious. In South Australia, the dairy farmers are some of the best in the world. We take their world class milk and hand it to our master cheesemakers. Using traditional, artisan techniques they produce exceptional cheese and dairy products of the highest quality.

Cheeses from our Murray Bridge cheesemaking facility have continued to win coveted awards, with the vintage cheddar recently being named champion at the 2023 Australian Grand Dairy Awards.

Our cheeses are matured to perfection, before being distributed across leading supermarket retailers, and enjoyed in homes across the state. The Farmer’s Tribute range will initially launch in over 100 stores, with distribution set to quickly grow beyond 200 stores in the first 6-months and nationwide soon after.

Farmer’s Tribute launches with a range of premium cheeses and flavored cream cheese products, with other production progressing through our innovation pipeline to launch in 2024. These premium products will capitalize on the high growth of the specialty cheese segment, with a record number of Australians entertaining in home, fueled in part by post-pandemic consumer habits.

We are very proud that this year alone we will make direct payments of $105 million to local farmers for their milk. The multiplier effect of these payments in regional areas is estimated at over $500 million per annum.

Beston is proud to be South Australia’s largest and leading dairy company and is committed to the communities in which it operates.

Made in South Australia. For South Australia.
