A Qualité award is a symbol of outstanding quality for dairy products and is only awarded to South African dairy champions who have obtained a specific minimum point on the international scorecard. The objective is to showcase those manufacturers who have achieved outstanding and consistent quality in their product range.
Frikkie Saayman, the production manager at the Lancewood factory in George, said, "To win four esteemed Qualité awards for Lancewood Holdings is an exceptional achievement.
Lancewood Low Fat Smooth Cottage Cheese and Chunky Chives Cottage Cheese were clear winners and the other two awards, one for Pick 'n Pay Low Fat Chunky Cottage Cheese with Peppadew and Garlic and the other award for Woolworths Creamed Cottage Cheese, symbolises the dedication to quality of all those involved in the manufacturing and the high quality of our producers' milk."
Saayman said that as production manager it is encouraging to see that a much larger variety of Lancewood products are now being awarded quality recognition. "Lancewood won first prize for its Fat Free Plain Smooth and Chunky Cottage Cheese plus the Balsamic and Onion flavour, the Low Fat Plain Smooth Cottage Cheese and the Garlic and Herb, Plain Cream Cheese and Mascarpone."
Lancewood was also awarded the Clover Floating Trophy for the most points at the 2014 Bloemfontein Dairy Championship Show.
The Lancewood factory shop is situated in Ironside Street opposite Van Rensburgs Foods. A full range of products is available.
