RFG Foods Scoops Awards At The SA Dairy Championships

RFG Foods scooped four Champion awards at the annual Agri-Expo DuPont Qualité SA Dairy Championships which took place at Grand West in Cape Town, Wednesday 23 April 2014.

The DuPont Qualité Awards dinner – a dairy highlight of the year – is where dairy producers are recognised and acknowledged for outstanding quality. Hundreds of entries are judged in categories including cheese, butter, cottage cheese, yoghurt, flavoured milk, dairy dips, ice-cream and dairy dessert.

The Rhodes Ayrshire Stud Farm, based on 104 hectares of land in Franschhoek, received recognition for its top quality milk, cream and cheese products, which it produces for a number of South Africa’s top retailers.

“Rhodes Dairy products are available throughout South Africa under the Portobello brand. They are also exclusively available at Woolworths under their own Private Label brand,” says Ilse Spies, RFG Foods General Manager for Dairy.
