Record Breaking Triumph At deliciouslyorkshire Awards 2012



A record-breaking number of Yorkshire's food and drink elite triumphed at the deliciouslyorkshire Awards 2012.

More than 300 people representing the region's food and drink sector celebrated the winners' achievements at the National Railway Museum, York.

The coveted deliciouslyorkshire Supreme Product was won by St Helen's Farm, Seaton Ross, York, for its Goat's Butter, and the Best Newcomer category was won by Staal Smokehouse Ltd of Long Riston, East Yorkshire, which also triumphed in the Best Fish and Seafish category with its Hot Smoked Salmon.

Vicky Unwin, market development manager at St Helen's Farm, said: "We're very proud to win two awards within our own county - and receive the recognition for the provenance of our products."

Justin Staal, of Staal Smokehouse Ltd, said: "It's our first year of production and to get this recognition from our peers is tremendous. The two awards show we are getting it right and developing and growing an artisan food business in the region."

The Awards night menu featured products and ingredients from a number of deliciouslyorkshire members who were either shortlisted or winners in 18 categories which included for the first time 'deliciouslyorkshire Brand Champions' representing the various sectors that make up the food and drink industry.

This year's Brand Champions are Amanda Peberdy, The Locally Sourced Food Co, Harrogate; Ashley McCarthy, Ye Old Sun Inn, Tadcaster; and Robert Ramsden, Delifresh, Bradford.

The deliciouslyorkshire Awards - now in their eighth year - are widely considered Yorkshire's food and drink 'Oscars' and this year attracted headline sponsorship from Leeds-based supermarket chain ASDA.

deliciouslyorkshire chairman Cath Clelland said: "Every year our Awards just get better and better! From the standard and quality of the entries to the celebration evening itself, the deliciouslyorkshire Awards are a major showcase of the calibre, innovation and enterprise that exists throughout Yorkshire's food and drink producers, retailers and distributors as well as our fantastic hospitality sector."
