For chocolate lovers, the Dairy Farmers Classic team are launching a new limited-edition Choc Malt flavour.

“The team are always looking to excite Aussies with limited-edition flavoured milks featuring fun flavour combinations. The release of our Banana Split flavour a few years ago was so popular we’re delighted to offer it again,” said Cheeseman.

Big M Lactose Free Double Choc and Big M Banana Split is available in Victorian Coles, Woolworths, and independent retailers and Convenience stores.
