Fine Food NW Awards
This year’s Fine Food NW Awards celebrate the rich variety of fabulous food that is produced, reared, baked or processed in the Northwest.
A team of hand-picked judges including top chefs, speciality food retailers, food journalists and supermarket buyers will taste their way through the fine food entries from across the region. All products will be blind tasted and judged solely on their quality, taste, texture and appearance to find the 48 sub-category winners. These will then go forward to be considered for the top 10 category winners.
Awards will be presented to all winners at a networking event on Wednesday 2nd June, at Ewood Park.
The top 10 category winners will automatically be entered into the Food NW ‘Fine Food Producer of the Year’ and ‘New Fine Food Product of the Year’ categories and invited to attend the Food NW Awards dinner on Thursday 24th June at the Midland Hotel, Manchester.
JUDGING
There are two rounds in the judging process for fine food and drink categories.
Entries will firstly be judged on a sub-regional level. Entries reaching a pre-agreed marking threashold will go through to the regional judging day. On both occasions they will be blind tasted and judged solely on their quality, taste, texture and appearance. Your products will be prepared / cooked by professional chefs.
The panel of judges will include chefs, food writers, buyers and restaurateurs – all with a vested interested in the speciality products of the region.
Details of dates and delivery for your samples will be sent with confirmation of your entry.
