Well, the 2020(1) Tokyo Olympics are just around the corner but we’ve already locked in our Gold Medal! We’re proud to announce that we were awarded a gong for our Schulz Organic Dairy Full Cream Milk at the 2021 delicious Produce Awards. Go team!! It’s been a huge year so recognition for producing an award winning product fills us with so much pride. This is our fifth Gold Medal from these awards in seven years and in 2021 we were the only mainland dairy to be recognised for milk under the dairy category. This award supports our belief that the processes and ethics we practice on our farm translate into quality product, and that makes us very happy! Our friends across the Tasman at Elgaar Farm were also awarded a Gold Medal for their Organic Cream On Top Milk, so *high fives*.
Schulz Organic Dairy Full Cream Milk (with cream on top)
Our Organic Full Cream Milk is natural and pure, with a rich layer of cream on top due to our choice not to homogenise the milk. The cream content in the milk changes with the seasons, cow lactation, and what the cows graze on. We raise both Friesians and Jerseys, which produce a milk rich in flavour; we’ve worked hard to create a just-right balance of beautiful texture and mouthfeel. Adopting the lowest legal pasteurisation temperature and time also retains the integrity of the milk’s natural flavour. Our full cream milk comes in 1L, 2L and in 1L glass bottles at selected Victorian retailers and Farmers Markets.
How do the judges determine Gold medallists?
To determine the winners, each piece of produce is tasted and tested by the delicious. Harvey Norman National Judging Panel. Nice work if you can get it! The 2021 panel included some of the country’s most well renowned chefs and experts. This year’s panel included Alla Wolf-Tasker, Andrew McConnell, Peter Gilmore, Matt Moran, Josh Niland, Matt Stone, Jo Barrett, Lennox Hastie and Danielle Alvarez (all pictured below).

Congratulations to this year’s Gold Medallists. The produce they delivered following a time of unprecedented change showed the dedication to their craft and resilience of our Australian farmers, fishermen and artisans. We will join the other Gold Medallists to compete for a National Trophy, with the results revealed in August this year (2021). Fingers crossed!
