A team of 115 expert judges put over 1,100 products to the test in categories showcasing branded beef, branded lamb, deli meat, olive oil and regional food for the chance to be awarded a prestigious Gold, Silver or Bronze medal or Sydney Royal Championship. Lyndey Milan, Chair Sydney Royal Fine Food and Wine Shows, said it was great to be involved in a thriving competition as Australian consumers are becoming increasingly interested in the provenance of their food, as well as in diversity, choice and flavour. “Fuelled by the consumers’ ever-growing love affair for food via TV shows and the media, people are becoming more discerning and seeking new products,” she said. “This has encouraged boutique, artisanal and larger producers to come to the front and enter our competitions to meet this high quality demand. “The judges tasted their way through some excellent produce and awarded 105 Gold, 287 Silver and 376 Bronze medals, in addition to 29 Sydney Royal Championship Trophies. Sally Evans, Steward-in-chief for Regional Food, said judges don’t just critique products to make awards, they are focused on contributing to the future success of Australian producers. “Many companies, large and small, have been refining their products for years, using feedback from our Sydney Royal judges. This has lead not only to greater success in competitions, but to greater commercial success for our exhibitors,” she said.
