Whether it’s a cold glass to start the day, a decadent chocolate treat, or the perfect creamy pairing for a bowl of champorado, Filipinos have an enduring love for milk. However, finding farm-fresh, high-quality dairy that fits a fast-paced lifestyle has often been a challenge.
Carmen’s Best, the proudly Filipino brand celebrated for its 100% fresh milk gourmet ice cream, is changing the landscape of local dairy. Moving beyond the pint, the brand is making premium, fresh milk more accessible to the modern consumer through an exciting exclusive partnership with 7-Eleven. This collaboration brings single-serve sizes, perfect for those on the go, directly to the neighborhoods, schools, and offices where Filipinos spend most of their day.
With only 1% of milk products consumed by Filipinos are fresh and locally produced, and 99% being imported and powdered, this partnership addresses a significant gap by bringing healthy, Filipino-produced dairy closer to consumers of all ages. To ensure peak quality, the brand is also building awareness that because its milk is 100% fresh with no additives or preservatives, it is best consumed immediately. This distinguishes Carmen’s Best from the processed or powdered milk drinks typically found on convenience store shelves, offering a refreshing dairy experience in every bottle.
Pure Freshness, Now Within Reach
Currently, the 300 mL line is available in select 7-Eleven stores, including key locations like Metro Manila and Rizal. The product will soon be available in Pampanga and Batangas, as well as cities in Visayas and Mindanao, particularly Cebu, Davao, and Cagayan de Oro, with future plans to roll out in more areas nationwide in the coming months.
“Our goal has always been to elevate the Filipino dairy experience. This journey began with a commitment to 100% real milk, but our mission has grown to ensure that fresh, local dairy is accessible to every Filipino,” says Toby Gatchalian, Chief Commercial Officer of Metro Pacific Agro Ventures and Carmen’s Best. “To make this possible, we’ve aggressively expanded our operations, growing our herd to 400 cows across farms in Luzon and Vismin, while increasing our yield from 11 liters to an impressive 28 liters per cow, per day. By partnering with 7-Eleven, we are completing that farm-to-table circle, ensuring that pure, locally produced milk is finally within reach for everyone.”
