Grand Champion title for Bulla Crème Fraîche

Bulla’s Crème Fraîche has been named 2016 Grand Champion Dairy Product at the Australian Grand Dairy awards.

Described by the judges as “a truly outstanding product”, Bulla’s Crème Fraîche took the title from a starting field of more than 300 dairy products.

Commenting on the win, Nick Hickford, Bulla Dairy Foods’ GM – marketing and innovation, said: “We are thrilled to have won this prestigious title. The product came into existence through our partnership with George Calombaris, who collaborated with us to perfect our Crème Fraîche in 2011.”

The Grand Dairy Awards put some of Australia’s leading dairy producers to the test, recognising excellence, quality and innovation in the industry.

There were 19 category winners in the awards, which are now in their 17th year. Each product was judged by a team of 24 judges who examined the products’ flavour, aroma, body, texture, colour and appearance.

The judging panel described Bulla’s Crème Fraîche to have a “delicate acidity combined with fresh clean flavours”. The product is suitable for sweet and savoury dishes, and does not break or curdle when cooked.
