More awards for Norco

Norco Natural Elbo Style Cheese has had a good health tick of approval.

Norco Natural Elbo Style Cheese has taken home the prize for Best Dairy for Lunchboxes as voted by a panel of dietitians at Australian Healthy Food Guide magazine.

The award is the second accolade for Norco Natural Elbo Style Cheese, which was voted Best Dairy in the EatWell Yummies Award 2022, voted by more than 17,000 Australian Wellbeing consumers.

Australian Healthy Food Guide offers advice from dietitians and nutritionists to help consumers choose products at the supermarket. The inaugural Healthy Food Guide Lunchbox Awards recognises innovative and exciting foods ideal for school or work lunchboxes.

Norco Natural Elbo Style Cheese made its way on to the list because of its high calcium content, acidophilus cultures for good gut health, reduced salt and low sugar content, making it a delicious and nutritious choice for lunchboxes for little ones or grown-ups.

The cheese is a legacy product that has been in the Australian market for more than 35 years.
