June 20th saw the celebration of the 12th annual Dairy Innovation Awards held at the Global Dairy Congress in Warsaw, Poland. The event showcases some of the most ambitions new products and developments of the year from a wide range of companies, both large and small, from across the world.

With so many fantastic products in the running it is a tremendous achievement to be listed as a finalist and, at the Gala Dinner the winners of the 18 categories were announced.

Bio-tiful Dairy and BV Dairy are very proud that the world’s first high protein, low calorie Kefir Quarg Original took the awards for Best Functional Dairy Product and Best Brand Extension. Its ‘stable-mate’ Kefir Quarg Cranberry and Chia was also listed as a finalist in the Best Dairy Snack category.

Jim Highnam, MD at BV Dairy, was pleased to comment on what an amazing achievement this was for both companies. ‘We are pleased to have been able to work with Bio-tiful Dairy to bring their exciting and innovative products to market and we congratulate them on this award. To see it achieve at an international level is more than we could have hoped for and we are very proud to be putting Dorset on the map with another premium range – one that is, again, available in the retail market.’
