Big gongs for Tassie produce (Mercury 13 May 2008)
Maria Rae
A PRESTIGIOUS magazine has awarded two Tasmanian companies for its fine produce.
Woodbridge Smokehouse and Miellerie Honey were recognised in the 2008 Vogue Entertaining and Travel produce awards in Sydney yesterday.
For their cold smoked ocean trout with pepper berry liquor, Woodbridge Smokehouse was the winner for best produce from the sea.
Located on an organic apple orchard south of Hobart, the smokehouse uses traditional ovens using woodchips from their own fruit trees.
Judge chef Chris Jackman was impressed with the "wonderful wood-smoke aroma".
"One can’t stop at one slice, sublime," he said.
And Miellerie Honey took out the award for best new product and was highly commended in the best produce from the earth category.
Apiarist Yves Ginat uses organic and biodynamic methods to extract the honey.
Judge and food writer Simon Marnie said each honey was distinctive with a long finish.
Hill St Grocer co-proprietor Nick Nikitaras said the cold-smoked fish was a popular seller at his West Hobart store.
Despite the extra cost, he said customers were impressed with quality.
"You can really taste the smoked flavour," he said.
"It’s not an artificial process."
He said the texture of the flesh and the cut were perfect.
"It’s the best smoked product in the state," he said.
"And it’s highly regarded throughout Australia."
He said interstate visitors often sought out the Woodbridge Smokehouse products.
The magazine’s editor-in-chief Trudi Jenkins said the awards were dedicated to discovering and celebrating the finest food growers and suppliers in the country.
"They acknowledge the people who are committed to quality and consistency in what they grow and make," she said.

You need to put up with about 15 seconds of advertising bumph before the real action starts.
Well worth a watch and their products really are sensational.

Woodbridge Smokehouse just won another gong for their fabulous smoked ocean trout; a gold medal in the 2009 Sydney Royal Show Fine Foods Aquaculture section.
