Woolworths takes top honours in a number of classes at the 2012 SA National Dairy Championships & Qualité Awards at a gala evening at the 2012 DuPont Qualité Awards Dinner in Stellenbosch.
The first dairy competition in South Africa was represented by the Society in 1895 when eight butter samples were entered and judged. Today the South African Dairy Championships is held annually and has become the country’s only leading event where dairy manufacturers can benchmark their products and improve quality.
Class winners in the Championships earn the title of SA Champion whereas products, which score more than a minimum number of points, are honoured with a Qualité Award – to indicate its outstanding quality. The product, which scored the highest point on show, is awarded the honour as the South African Dairy Product of the Year.
