Awards

In 2015, the food newspaper named Monte one of several “top brands” in the delicatessen product group. The award is based on a positive development in market share in the respective market segment, determined by the market research institute GfK . In 2010, the consumer protection organization "foodwatch" awarded Zott the "golden cream puff" for the Monte Drink because of his application as a snack in spite of the high sugar content.
