๐ Last Friday at the 2026 Perth Royal Food Awards marked another year celebrating WAโs Best Dairy. It was a great night catching up with fellow artisan producers (๐ , ) and friends in food (, , and ).
๐Awards & Recognition:
We were so proud to receive 3x GOLD Medals, 1x SILVER Medal and also crowned CHAMPION Butter for our Spreadable Butter this year.
๐ฅ Spreadable (CHAMPION)
๐ฅ Herb & Chilli
๐ฅ Unsalted
๐ฅ Salted
The Story Behind the Spreadable:
This was particularly touching because the Spreadable Butter was the very first butter Kylie made at home all those years ago back in 2012. What started out as a little dollop for our own personal use turned into a full blown butter company thatโs now recognised as some of the best butter around. Weโre delighted that itโs getting the recognition it deserves, not just for the quality and taste but for the appreciation of using real olive oil rather than unnatural seed oils that other producers might opt for simply because itโs more profitable.
๐ซ The Spreadable Butter truly is โcrafted for those who know the difference.โ
๐ Massive congratulations to Bannister Downs Dairy who received (three!) CHAMPION trophies this year too for their:
๐ฅ Non-Homogenised Milk
๐ Choc Cherry Delite, and
๐ฎ Delicious Cream (the very same cream Kylieโs been using since Day #1!)
๐ฉโโ๏ธ Judging:
Special thanks to Chief Judge, Roz Garstone for her stewardship of this years awards too (and many years past). For those who are interested check out the scoring criteria for what makes a Gold, Silver and Bronze product - itโs not simply a โ1st, 2nd and 3rd Bestโ as many believe - products have to meet a threshold of quality which can result in no medals being awarded if not met.
๐ Thank you for a wonderful event, weโll see you again soon!
