This year for the first time a panel of judges from Musgrave Retail Partners chose finalists for the Small Producer of the Year Award – designed to celebrate artisanal foods and drink in Ireland and sponsored by SuperValu. The winner will be offered a prestigious listing in SuperValu stores.
· Chicken Liver Paté with Garlic & Brandy - On The Pig's Back c/o La Charcuterie Irlandaise Ltd
· Scotts Irish Cider - Big Hand Brewing Company Ltd
· Sweet BBQ Pulled Pork - Jack & Keith Molloy Bros. Ltd
Organiser, Helen Lyons, is thrilled with the success of the awards so far and said the judging was a “fantastic 8 days which brought together some of the very best food and drink on sale in Ireland and many of the Nation’s top foodies”.
The Irish Quality Food Awards set out to recognise excellence in product development for food and drink producers, retailers and catering companies in Ireland (North & South) with Q Awards being awarded across 50 different categories. The Overall Gold Q is awarded to the one product that stands out among all the other entries and is chosen from the winners of the main categories, representing the very best of the best.
"The judging process encapsulates all elements of the product, from its ingredients, its cooking or serving suggestions and equally important, its packaging." said Bruce Langlands, Director of Food & Beverage at Harrods and Co-chair of the IQFA Judging Panel. "Unlike awards which judge products “blind” so that you cannot see the packaging, we do the exact opposite. We demand that our judges know as much as possible about the food and drink that they are sampling so they can respond as a consumer would – with their eyes first, and then with their nose and their mouth."
The awards are open to all retailers, food producers, wholesalers and food service operators across Northern and Southern Ireland. They are a unique collaboration between Food and Hospitality Ireland and the UK Quality Food and Drink Awards (now in its 33rd year) and sponsored by top UK packaging manufacturer, Benson Group as well as Invest Northern Ireland and MLS Labelling & Printing Systems.

· Chicken Liver Paté with Garlic & Brandy - On The Pig's Back c/o La Charcuterie Irlandaise Ltd
