NZ Food Awards finalists announced
What do a glow-in-the-dark water bottle, elderflower green currant juice and sheep milk powder have in common? While this list sounds like something one might encounter during a molecular gastronomy dining experience, they’re actually all finalists in the 2013 NZ Food Awards.
From more than 100 entries, 43 finalists were selected across 14 categories. The winning entries will be announced at a gala dinner on 19 September at the Auckland Museum Events Centre.
“Massey has been involved with the NZ Food Awards since its inception, and we’ve seen the food and beverage industry grow markedly in that time,” said Massey University Vice-Chancellor Steve Maharey.
“We know that New Zealanders can create high-value products that the world clamours for, and we’re delighted to give food industry manufacturers an opportunity for their products to shine. Congratulations to all of this year’s finalists.”
Finalists will attend business-capability workshops run by KPMG and Rabobank, and retail and commercialisation mentoring sessions run by Countdown. They will also be able to display the NZ Food Awards Finalist mark on their products.
