Homegrown goodness in every sip
Locally sourced ingredients
When you enjoy a mug of NESTLÉ® MILO®, you're not just savouring a delicious chocolate malt drink; you're tasting the heart and soul of ethically sourced ingredients.
That's because NESTLÉ® MILO® is deeply committed to sourcing its key ingredients—milk and cocoa—locally, ensuring a high-quality product that directly benefits local farmers and communities.
High-quality standards
The cocoa used in NESTLÉ® MILO® undergoes stringent quality checks to ensure it meets Nestlé's high standards. By sourcing cocoa locally, NESTLÉ® MILO® not only maintains its rich chocolatey flavour but also supports sustainable practices within the region's cocoa industry.
By sourcing key ingredients locally, NESTLÉ® MILO® can maintain strict quality control measures throughout its production process. This means you can enjoy every mug of NESTLÉ® MILO® knowing that it's made with the freshest, highest-quality milk and cocoa, sourced responsibly and ethically from South African farms.
Currently, Nestlé sources sugarcane and dairy from South Africa and ensures that every batch of NESTLÉ® MILO® is crafted with high-quality milk sourced directly from local dairy farms scattered across the verdant landscapes of South Africa.
By investing in community development projects, we not only support agricultural sustainability but also enhance the well-being and resilience of farming families.
Community impact
Beyond the product itself, our commitment extends to the communities where we operate. Through various initiatives and partnerships, we support sustainable farming practices, empower local farmers and promote environmental stewardship. This approach not only benefits farmers and their families but also contributes to the long-term prosperity of the agriculture industry.
We understand that supporting local farmers is essential for a thriving agricultural sector and a resilient economy.
Environmental conservation
Through Nestlé’s support in sustainable farming practices, we help preserve natural resources such as soil and water, minimising environmental impact. Sustainable farming techniques supported by the brand, such as crop rotation and organic farming methods, enhance soil health and resilience to climate change impacts.
Consumers increasingly value brands that prioritise sustainability.
For decades, NESTLÉ® MILO® has been a favourite among South Africans of all ages, enjoyed for its energising properties and delicious taste. This enduring popularity is not only a testament to our unwavering dedication to quality and innovation, ensuring that every sip of NESTLÉ® MILO® delivers on its promise of wholesome goodness and taste, but also a reflection of a shared commitment to sustainability and community support.
