Royal Melbourne Dairy Produce Awards

 
Royal Melbourne Dairy Produce Awards The Royal Melbourne Dairy Produce Awards have been firmly set in the Australian Dairy Calendar for over 50 years. The awards have attracted thousands of entries over the years from cheese, butter, milk, yoghurt, ice-cream and more recently specialty dairy producers.

Entries are judged by a panel of experts led by Robert Prince, Chairman of Judges over consecutive days with the results announced in September.

Gold Medal winners from the Royal Melbourne Dairy Produce Awards are eligible to enter the Australian Grand Dairy Awards presented by Dairy Australia.

Presentation of Awards

 


This year the Awards were presented by the Nine Network's Peter Hitchener, at the 2007 Royal Melbourne Show, in a newly developed precinct specifically designed to showcase the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria’s award-winning dairy, wine and beer competitions. This area allowed Show patrons to sample the ‘best of the best’ in produce and beverages while also incorporating an educational and interactive experience.

Invited guests included 2007 judges, exhibitors, media and other representatives from across the dairy industry. The event was a great opportunity for members of the industry to come together and celebrate their commitment, enthusiasm and passion for one of Australia’s major primary industries – and also allowed members of the public the chance to gain a valuable insight into this thriving industry.
