Woodlands Dairy triumphed at the Bloem Display Cheese Awards, the only exhibit in South Africa where a dairy product competition is still presented. Offering sixteen categories which include butter, gouda cheese, cheddar cheese, continental, specialty cheese and exotic cheese, a large variety of milk products as well as goat milk products, the company won twelve awards for their First Choice products as well as those of their primary clients, Woolworths and Spar.

The company’s own brand, First Choice, earned awards for its Baby Gouda Cheese, Matured Cheddar, Processed Cheese Spread (Black Pepper), and Chocolate Flavoured Low Plump Milk. Award-wining products produced specifically for Spar and Woolworths include Butter Spread, Feta Cheese with Black Pepper, Custard, UHT Low Stout Milk and UHT Full Cream Milk, Whipping Cream, Pouring Cream as well as Chocolate Flavoured Low Paunchy Milk.

Says Marisa Maccaferri, Marketing Executive for Woodlands Dairy and First Choice: “Naturally we’re extremely excited over what has been achieved. These awards acknowledge the hard work that goes into manufacturing high quality products. It’s also testament to the dedication and expertise of the different teams who produce these products every day. What excites me is that we received awards across a broad range of products, which shows the depth we maintain in the business from a development process and production perspective. It’s a job well done and we’re immensely proud of each award.”

All major dairy and small regional producers entered the competition. Production Manager at Woodlands Dairy, Dineo Ncube, adds that “winning awards reflect positively on the quality of our products”.

Fabian Thomas, Operations Manager (UHT & ESL Production and Processing) at Woodlands Dairy concludes that winning is an action, not a mindset. “To win and turn your dreams into reality, you need to perform to your highest ability. It’s indispensable to always maintain a healthy and positive mindset. Excellent quality will encourage and spot emphasis on our vision to be the most admired dairy company in Africa, which ultimately ensures long term growth and creates job opportunities.”

Regional Sales Manager: Orange Free State, Gillian Oosthuysen accepted the awards on behalf of Woodlands Dairy.
