Around the mid 1950s a Polish migrant bought a small farm in the Yarra Valley area of Eltham/Research in Victoria. The sign over the gate read ‘Jalna’, hence the name of today’s popular yoghourt brand.

Pot Set

Still a Victorian-based family business, all Jalna dairy foods are Australian-made in the traditional 'pot set' way. We start with fresh dairy milk delivered in Jalna’s segregated milk tanker, mainly either from our own BioDynamic Organic farm or from the family farm who has been supplying milk to Jalna for over ten years, so we know the  ‘provenance’ of our key ingredient.

Because each Jalna Yoghourt is made fresh and set in its own tub, it is creamy and thick, with a unique texture that ‘stirred’ yoghourts cannot match.

Innovative

Jalna has always been an innovative dairy food company, committed to producing nutritious food for Australians concerned about their wellbeing. It was the first yoghourt manufacturer to introduce viable quantities of probiotics (often called ‘friendly bacteria’ or ‘cultures’) to yoghourt - all Jalna Yoghourts and Yoghourts On The Go contain viable quantities of acidophilus, Bifidus and casei (aBc - La-5® Lactobacillus acidophilus, BB-12® bifidobacterium, Lc-01® Lactobacillus Casei) cultures.

Nutritious Choices

In 1981 Jalna recognized that many consumers were diet-conscious and was one of the first to introduce fat-free varieties of yoghourt. Today these are a major part of the Jalna range, along with some delicious low fat options.

Jalna bought its own BioDynamic dairy farm in 1998 and now produces a range of BioDyamic Organic yoghourts.

The Vitalize products are nutritious additions to the Jalna range, while Jalna Yoghourt On The Go are refreshing drinks when you need a top up on the run.
