A Thomastown cheese producer has added to its list of achievements after winning two categories at the dairy industry’s top awards.
That’s Amore Cheese took home the awards for flavoured cheese and dairy dessert at the Australian Grand Dairy Awards earlier this month.
That’s Amore Cheese managing director Giorgio Linguanti said the company’s Diavoletti, which won the flavoured cheese category, was a unique and special product.
“The balance of mild cheese with salty olive and a kick of chilli makes for a wonderfully unexpected taste sensation,” he said.
“The name translates to ‘little devils’ which is fun.
“The Diavoletti has won many awards and it is fantastic to add this Australian Grand Dairy Award to the recognition.”
That’s Amore’s Gelato Tartufo- a hazelnut and chocolate gelato with a dark chocolate ganache centre, coated in cocoa powder- was named top dairy dessert.
“To win one Australian Dairy Award is amazing, but to win two is a dream come true,” Mr Linguanti said.
“The That’s Amore Cheese team work so hard every day to produce the best quality product for our customers. We love making tasty and unique cheeses and desserts and to be recognised with two awards will spur us on to keep creating.”
