Drakes’ La Gelateria gelato has taken home a raft of top awards at the recent South Australian Dairy Awards, including Most Outstanding.
The South Australian Dairy Awards acknowledges excellence, quality and innovation across more than 30 competition classes, including cheese, yoghurt, fresh and frozen dairy, attracting entrants from all over South Australia.
In addition to Most Outstanding, La Gelateria gelato also picked up Judges Choice and Champion Frozen Dairy, amongst a host of other awards.
Kalli Parpottas, SA Bakery Operations Manager, expressed her excitement at receiving the awards and becoming the first gelato offered by a South Australian supermarket to receive such prestigious recognition.
“What an honour to receive such recognition while being amongst some of the best gelato producers in the state, we’re proud to offer our customers a premium selection of locally made, award-winning gelato.”
La Gelateria Autentica offers authentic Italian gelato flavours, made fresh in-store at Drakes Fulham Gardens, using dairy from local South Australian producers.
Drakes now advances to the Australian Grand Dairy Awards competition, to showcase their award-winning gelato and strive for additional recognition nationally.
Drakes La Gelateria award-winning gelato is available in 750ml take-home tubs in the freezer aisle at all South Australian stores excluding minis, or at their in-store Gelato Bar at Drakes Fulham Gardens.
