MANILA — Carmen’s Best, the proudly Filipinhttps://carmensbest.com/o brand known for its gourmet ice cream made with 100% fresh milk, is expanding its dairy portfolio by bringing its fresh milk line to 7-Eleven stores, making premium local dairy more accessible to consumers on the go.
The partnership introduces 300 mL single-serve bottles, allowing Filipinos to enjoy farm-fresh milk conveniently in neighborhoods, schools, and offices across the country.
Despite the Philippines’ strong demand for dairy, only 1% of milk consumed locally is fresh and locally produced, with the remaining 99% imported or powdered. Carmen’s Best aims to help close this gap by making locally produced, high-quality milk easier to access.
“Our goal has always been to elevate the Filipino dairy experience,” said Toby Gatchalian, Chief Commercial Officer of Metro Pacific Agro Ventures and Carmen’s Best.
“This journey began with a commitment to 100% real milk, but our mission has grown to ensure that fresh, locally produced dairy is accessible to every Filipino.”
To support the growing demand, Carmen’s Best has expanded its dairy operations, growing its herd to 400 cows across farms in Luzon and VisMin and increasing production yields from 11 liters to 28 liters per cow per day.
The Carmen’s Best Fresh Milk 300 mL range includes:
• Whole Milk (P60 SRP): Rich, creamy, and 100% fresh milk
• Low-Fat Milk (P60 SRP): All the nutrients and freshness with less fat
• Low-Fat Chocolate Milk (P65 SRP): A guilt-free, indulgent classic made with real cocoa
• Salted Caramel Milk (P70 SRP): Inspired by Carmen’s Best’s #1 best-selling ice cream flavor, this variant offers sweet-salty profile that is uniquely indulgent.
Since the initial launch in January 2025, Carmen’s Best Fresh Milk has rapidly expanded its portfolio to cater to the evolving tastes of Filipino coffee lovers and foodies.
Beyond fresh milk, Carmen’s Best continues to expand its dairy offerings with products such as Milk Bars, Barista Fresh Milk, Kesong Puti, and new ice cream flavors including Ube Halaya and Tiramisu, while also opening new scooping stations in Cebu, located at The Mall at NUSTAR and SM City J Mall.
The products are currently available in select 7-Eleven stores across Metro Manila and Rizal, with expansion planned in Pampanga, Batangas, Cebu, Davao, and Cagayan de Oro in the coming months.
