Melbourne-based cheese manufacturer That’s Amore Cheese has won 11 medals at the Dairy Industry Association of Australia (DIAA) Dairy Product Competition this week, including three gold awards.

That’s Amore Cheese’s Diavoletti, Fior de Latte and Burrata all won gold, while its Traditional Ricotta, Buffalo Mozzarella and Drunken Buffalo were among its silver winners. 

Winners of gold and silver medals can use the medal images on the products’ packaging for up to three years.

That’s Amore managing director Giorgio Linguanti said the team works hard to create the best cheese they can, and was proud of the products.

“With everything that has happened the last few months, this will really give the team a life,” said Linguanti.

“Having pivoted the business to be able to offer our products direct to consumers’ doors via our delivery service as well as supply to our hospitality customers, we are excited to be able to announce so many medal winners that both the general public and the hospitality trade can purchase.”

The products that win gold at the DIAA competitions are also a gateway to the Australian Grand Dairy Awards by Dairy Australia next year.
