Norco, Australia’s only 100 per cent farmer-owned dairy co-operative, has taken out the top prize across three categories in the 2021 Dairy Industry Association of Australia (DIAA) National Product Competition.
The annual DIAA Dairy Product Competition recognises the highest quality products from farmers and producers across the Australian dairy industry, with industry experts ranking hundreds of entries on taste, appearance, quality and texture.
Norco was awarded the highest score for three product categories with Norco’s Lactose Free Milk coming in first for both the white milk and modified milk categories and Norco’s Full Cream Fresh Milk taking out the top spot in the unmodified full fat milk class.
Norco CEO, Michael Hampson, said three category wins in the DIAA awards is an incredible achievement for Norco’s 292 strong co-operative members and its committed Norco team.
“To see the hard work of our farmers and our Norco staff acknowledged through the DIAA awards is fantastic and testament to the passion and quality that we as a team place into our products each and every day
“We continue to thank and encourage more consumers to support our 100 per cent Australian farmer owned dairy co-operative and enjoy our award winning products.”
Norco’s success at the DIAA National Product Competition follows a recent sweep of 29 medals in the 2021 DIAA Awards of Excellence in May and receiving top honours in Canstar Blue’s Customer Satisfaction Awards earlier this year.
