Hannan Meats Celebrates On Taste Success
Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster has congratulated Hannan Meats, a specialist meat business in Moira, on being named as the Supreme Champion in the final of UK Great Taste Awards last night.
The company gained the top award for its Italian style Moyallon Guanciale in the overall awards announced by the UK Guild of Fine Food at a gala event in London. This is the second year running that the prestigious award has been won by a business in Moira.
Arlene Foster said: "This is another superb achievement by Northern Ireland’s export-focused red meat industry and also for the town of Moira, which has experienced tremendous success in the Great Taste Awards over the past few years.
"It builds on the success of McCartney’s Butchers who won the Supreme Champion and Northern Ireland regional titles last year. Hannan Meats also set an all-time record by winning 26 gold stars in 20 categories.
"The achievements of Hannan Meats and other local companies in this year's Great Taste Awards are helping to develop Northern Ireland’s standing as a centre of gastronomic excellence.
"Food companies here are now making a significant contribution to the wellbeing of the local economy, particularly in terms of export earnings."
