Norco named Champion twice in Australian Grand Dairy Awards

Norco has won two awards at Dairy Australia’s Grand Dairy Awards 2023, with its Pure Jersey Milk named Champion in its category and its Real Iced Chocolate receiving the same accolade.

The judges of the awards worked through 320 products spanning 18 categories — the Norco products were awarded for their quality and taste.

Ben Menzies, Norco General Manager of Commercial & Strategy, said it is an honour to receive the awards.

“It’s an absolute honour to be recognised on a national scale for our talent, hard work and the positive contribution we continually give back to our industry — which is the driving force behind everything we do,” Menzies said. “It’s wonderful to be recognised as dairy champions and Australia’s finest but it’s also a celebration of our 100% farmer owned co-operative, its people and our farmer members.”

The awards began in 1999 to recognise excellence and innovation in Australian dairy produce and celebrate the producers behind the products. To enter, manufacturers must receive the gold medal at the qualifying competitions and have products made from Australian milk. Champions are the highest scoring product of each class and finalists are the top three products in each class.

Norco Lactose Free Lite Milk and Norco Real Iced Coffee Triple Shot were awarded as finalists in their categories this year.
