Von Slick's Finishing Touch, a flavoured butter company based in Middlebro, Manitoba, competed in a number of categories at the World Dairy Expo's product contests earlier this month. The buttery biz came away the first and only Canadian winner at the event held in Madison, Wisconsin.
The company's push tube finishing butter took home first place in the creative and innovative products competition, while the product narrowly missed out on the top spot in the flavoured butter category.
"We scored a 99.6 out of 100, and the winner scored a 99.8, so it was a nail-biter," said Von Slick's co-founder Landon Kroeker.
The Prairie-made products were among 1,300 entries eligible at this year's competition, with 60,000 people from 100 countries attending the event.
The contest is touted as the premier platform for showcasing the craftsmanship and creativity that drives the industry forward, held in the unofficial mecca of all things dairy.
