Product Range

Cooking Cream

New Zealand Food Awards Chilled/Short Shelf Life Winner 2019
Low fat, long-life cream with superior cooking qualities. It has excellent heat stability, so you can add lemon juice, wine or vinegar and it won’t split. Ideal for sweet and savoury cooking,including sauces and soups. It is awesome for creating low fat dishes without compromising on taste or texture. It is not suitable for whipping.
Product Range

Crème Fraîche

A deliciously tangy soured cream that has a thick velvety texture. Tatua Crème Fraîche is made from freshly cultured cream and has a long shelf life. The flavour profile is somewhere between yoghurt and sour cream, but is richer and has a creamier texture. We like using it as a dip for a fresh fruit plate, rolling it into crêpes with fruit preserves, or spreading it into a tart and nestling fresh fruit pieces on top.
Product Range

Dairy Whip

Dairy Whip is 20% lower in fat than regular liquid fresh cream, and even less when compared to whipped cream. Great to have in the fridge so you can always have cream on hand for any occasion. For best results, serve immediately.

Our Company

Over 100 years of dairy innovation and co-operative spirit is at the heart of everything we do.

We add value through partnership and collaboration, combining world class dedication, with world leading capability and technology.

Our Purpose

Our Purpose is in our Name

A tatua is a strong, durable, woven flax belt that was worn by a Maori chief or warrior to carry their most prized possessions and tools. For us it symbolises knowledge, skills, connectedness, strength and the protection of all that is good.

Traditionally handed down from one generation to the next, the tatua represents the protection and advancement of both current and future generations.
