BRATTLEBORO, VT. – Green Mountain Creamery yogurt, manufactured by Commonwealth Dairy, has just taken top honors in the Greek Yogurt category of the World Dairy Expo Championship Dairy Product Contest.
Green Mountain Creamery’s Vanilla won first place, and Pineapple second place, in a competition that drew entries from all over the country. One of the largest contests of its type in the world, the World Dairy Expo Dairy Product Championship Contest is the only one in North America that evaluates and ranks all types of dairy products. It is the fastest growing contest, with over 700 entries last year. Professional dairy judges evaluate samples for flavor, body, texture, appearance, and color. There are four distinct classes of yogurt in the competition: Greek, Strawberry, Blueberry, and Open Flavor. Green Mountain Creamery’s two winning entries were in the Greek Yogurt category.
Thomas Moffitt, President of Commonwealth Dairy, said ”We all suspected this, and now it is official – we are ranked as the best Greek yogurt in the country!”
Commonwealth Dairy will be attending the awards ceremony at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, WI in October.
The Green Mountain Creamery brand adheres to a very basic philosophy: it’s a Healthy, Responsibly Made Yogurt that Tastes great, and is Affordable! This is done by keeping it simple. The brand is made with only the things that make yogurt taste so good: Pure rBST-free milk, real fruit and berries, just enough natural sugar to make it sweet, but not too sweet, and lots of live and active cultures. The result is Pure Vermont Goodness in Every CupTM. A portion of the profits from the sale of the product are returned directly to the farmers who supply the milk used to make it.
Commonwealth Dairy is a state-of-the art yogurt manufacturing facility located in Brattleboro Vermont. The Green Mountain Creamery line of yogurts contains no artificial preservatives, additives or colorings and is made with only the purest ingredients including rBST free milk. Commonwealth Dairy returns 5% of its net profits directly back to the farmers who supply its milk.
