Superior quality dairy ingredients to bring out the best in our customers' products

Making Quality Products

Our story starts on farm, where premium raw milk is harvested and made into some of the world’s best dairy products and ingredients. Packed with the goodness of milk and carefully processed to deliver superior quality, taste and consistency, Open Country’s premium range of dairy products and ingredients are loved by customers here in New Zealand and around the world.

Our ingredient solutions are developed in collaboration with our customers and with their changing needs and requirements in mind. Our milk powders and proteins, milk concentrates and milk fats are used in fine regional foods and beverages that consumers love. High nutritional value, superior functionality and the sensory characteristics of our products make them an ideal ingredient in many applications.

Confectionery & Desserts

Our superior range of milk powders and anhydrous milk fats when formulated in confectionery products perform exceptionally well in the manufacturing process and give desired texture, creaminess, rich mouthfeel and a typical milky flavour to the finished product.
