Great Australian produce

Packed in like sustainable, organic, biodynamic sardines the delicious Produce Awards of 2014 pulled a prestigious crowd of culinary elites, well-respected producers and passionate supporters. Taste buds were tantalized with sampling tables of B.-d Farm Paris Creek Biodynamic Organic Unsalted Butter, Cobram Estate Olive Oil, Mike’s Woodfired Sourdough Bread, Pecora Dairy Bloomy White cheese, ALTO Olives Misto Table Olives, Barham Avocados with black bean & chilli vinaigrette, Warialda Belted Galloways Pastrami with Long Lane Caper Buds, McIvor Farm Foods Leg Ham on the bone with piccalilli, Mooloolabah Tuna Company Albacore ‘Mojama’ Tuna with Tascano Olives Lemon-pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Shark Bay Seafoods Ama Ebi Prawns with aioli. Kitchen By Mike also provided an abundance of tasty delights including a very yummy native wallaby with wasabi mayo. I’ve also learnt the food industry cannot live on food alone so a plentiful supply of Brown Brothers Pinot Noir Chardonnay, Brown Brothers Pinot Grigio and Tempranillo, Rocks Brewing Co Golden Ale and 666 Vodka Capi Ginger Beer cocktails were on standby to wash all the goodness down.
