Quindanning Buffalo Wins Gold at the Melbourne Royal Australian Food Awards!

From our quiet corner of Western Australia to the national stage, our Buffalo Milk has officially been recognised as the Best Non‑Cow Fresh Milk at the 2026 Melbourne Royal Australian Food Awards.

Among more than 1,100 entries and 260 exhibitors across Australia, our Buffalo Milk stood out in the Dairy category, earning the BIC14S – Best Non‑Cow Fresh Milk medal. 

This win reflects years of dedication, careful herd management, and a commitment to producing milk as rich, clean, and honest as the land it comes from.

🌿 A Win That Means More Than a Medal

This award places our buffalo milk among Australia’s top dairy products, judged by an expert panel of industry leaders across flavour, texture, quality and craftsmanship. It’s a proud moment not just for our family-run dairy, but for Western Australian producers proving that world‑class food can come from regional, rural places.

And there’s more..... this win also makes us eligible to enter the 2026 Grand Dairy Awards, a national competition that showcases the best of the best. For a small producer like us, that opportunity is huge.

Buffalo milk is still a niche category in Australia, but its richness, versatility and nutritional profile make it a favourite among chefs, home cooks and dairy lovers. Recognition at this level helps shine a light on the potential of buffalo dairy and the producers behind it.

For us, it’s validation of the care we put into every litre.

To our customers, stockists, supporters and the WA community: thank you for believing in our buffalo milk long before the medals arrived. Your encouragement keeps us moving forward, experimenting, improving and dreaming bigger.
