    Best New Dairy Products of 2018

    Our top 10 ‘Best New Dairy Products of 2018’

    We picked our favorite innovative new dairy products; now it's time for you to vote for yours.

    By Sarah M. Kennedy
    Best New Dairy Products of 2018
    December 3, 2018

    New dairy products such as Chobani Savor (a squeezable plain Greek yogurt), Fairlife Smart Snacks (snack-sized ready-to-drink beverages), Arla Icelandic-style skyr cream cheese, and Hershey's and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup dairy whipped toppings are among the 10 Best New Dairy Products of 2018, according to Dairy Foods.

    Dairy Foods' editors reviewed all the new dairy products published in Dairy Foods magazine and on dairyfoods.com in 2018. From the hundreds of products covered, we nominated 30 and then picked our 10 favorites, based on originality, creativity, packaging design and taste.

    Each product chosen made an impression. Some tapped into popular trends — such as snacking, convenience and portability, and high protein. And others were concepts never seen before — such as ice cream that helps you sleep and curated cheese flights.

    Now Dairy Foods invites you to vote for your favorites among the 30 nominated foods and beverages.

    See the entire list of our editors' favorites here.

    Visitors to DairyFoods.com may vote for their favorites from the 30 nominees; see the link below. After voting, we encourage you to share your favorites via Twitter and Facebook using the hashtag #BestDairy2018. The poll closes Jan. 7, 2019, and winners will be announced online Jan. 8, 2019.

    See our entire list of nominees and VOTE for your favorites here.
