About GMM Dairies
The Georgian Milk mark distinguishes dairy products made from natural raw milk. The purpose of the mark is to promote products made from Georgian natural raw milk, to help consumers make informed decisions while buying milk and other dairy products. The mark can only be used by companies making dairy products from natural raw milk and which do not contain milk powder and/or any vegetable oils.
