The delicious. Produce Awards, presented by Miele, was the most exciting night for the finalists of these truly amazing and important awards. Every single producer there on the night is part of an exceptional group Australia-wide, and the food prepared by the QT Melbourne were samples of their produce. Such unbelievable choices from the sea urchin, oysters, spanner crab, green lip abalone, cheeses, kefirs, honey, pork and more, to the vibrant display of fruit and vegetables - every part of the evening was something for the whole of Australia to be proud of. It was so wonderful to give recognition to Will Studd for being the hero who led the charge over so many years, which has finally seen us judging unpasteurised cheese at the awards, so finally there is choice for the Australian consumer passionate about cheese. Congratulations to all of the dedicated and passionate winners and finalists, the quality and variety of produce blows me away every year and it is a privilege to be able to meet and celebrate with producers who make the Australian food scene the trailblazing and exciting industry it is known as. -MB
