Superior yoghurt creates new sector and basis of Piako’s business

“There was nothing like if over here,” he says. “We convinced the Australians to let us have a crack at it.”

The result is Piako Gourmet Yoghurt, a thick, indulgent-tasting treat pitched at the specialty and premium end of the market, which has the Auckland-based company as one of 10 finalists in the Entrepeneurs’ Challenge run by Auckland University’s School of Business.
