NZMP Noble™, once again, was awarded Gold in the Best Cheese on Toast Class – full flavour with 30% less fat than standard cheddar makes Noble™ ideal for cheese toasties.

Gold was also awarded to our NZMP Easy Shred Mozzarella. Lower moisture than standard mozzarellas make it ideal for shredding, while also delivering the right characteristics for an authentic pizza experience.
