Celebrating Two Golds for Giraf Macadamia as Best Vegan Milk Alternative

Giraf Macadamia is honoured to announce that it clinched two Gold Awards at the 2025 Food & Home Awards for its Vanilla and Oats variants.

In South Africa’s highly competitive Vegatarian Milk Alternatives Industry this recognition affirms the brand's reputation for crafting delicious, high-quality nut milks and their ability to create innovative products that satisfy consumer demand for sustainable, healthier, and tastier options.

Recognition of Excellence

The Food & Home Awards are a big deal - they give producers a massive boost in credibility and provide consumers trusted guidance towards products that deliver exceptional quality and value. It's a place where big retail brands and small artisanal startups stand shoulder to shoulder reinforcing the message that South African food culture is rich, diverse, and totally worth celebrating.

Giraf Macadamia Milk was expertly judged and awarded two golds from amongst 1,337 products from over 158 brands. 

"We’re proud to be part of South Africa’s Best in Food in 2025 and delighted with this recognition from the Food & Home Awards," says Philip Moufarrige, the Founder and Managing Director of Giraf Macadamia and CEO of AmberMacs. “This achievement reflects our commitment to making products our customers love. A big thank you to the judges and our wonderful fans for their support!”
