Organic Dairy Hub’s (ODH) consumer brand, Ours Truly, was awarded two golds at the Inspire+ NZ Artisan Awards for its pair of organic, lactose-free milk powders - whole and skim. The range is the first of its kind in New Zealand and provides a great dairy-free option for consumers.
“New Zealand-produced dairy products have always been held in high regard offshore, and we have noticed increasing demand for lactose-free dairy products globally in the last few years. We decided to meet that demand with our organic milk powders. It has really been an incredible team effort to get the range off the ground and into consumers’ hands,” said Hayley Denney, ODH’s Business Development Manager.
“In addition to the core ODH team and our nutritionist, Jan Hales, this endeavour included invaluable help from Emily Wang at Produco who was instrumental in us securing organic compliance for the milk powders. Food Innovation Waikato is our third-party spray dry facility which dries the fresh product into powder and has done a great job of ensuring a high-quality product is produced.
“Then there is our fantastic designer, Holly Zachan from Resonate Design, who makes sure everything looks great and is on brand. Finally, our public relations, marketing and social media guru, Niki Creasy from Blah PR & Marketing, helped to launch our products to consumers and show how they can be used every day.”
The ODH team are already developing new product ranges, including a selection of organic butters which will be launching soon.
