Everything from boerwors and verjuice to lamb and olive oil has a chance of a medal.

Entries are now open for the Spring 2010 Sydney Royal Fine Food Show, featuring several new classes and Championship awards in the Olive Oil, Regional Food, Branded Lamb and Deli Meat Competitions. These new additions to the Spring schedule will showcase more of the country’s top producers. Always in line with current consumer trends, the Regional Food Competition is including verjuice as a class.

The Deli Meat competition features expanded sausage classes, including a specific class for traditional sausages representing a country of origin style. These may include South African Italian Sausages and Bratwurst. Accepting entries in Regional Food, Deli Meat, Olive Oil, Aquaculture, Branded Beef and Branded Lamb, the Sydney Royal Fine Food Show recognises and rewards innovation, diversity and excellence in agricultural production.

“Winning a medal at the Sydney Royal Fine Food Show is the highest accolade possible and a testament to the high quality of a company’s product,” says Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS) Fine Food Committee Chair Lyndey Milan. Entries close Wednesday 14 July, 2010. More information: www.sydneyroyalshows.com.au
