A Competition to find Scotland`s Best Pork Products

This pork products evaluation on 1st November 2018 will compliment the QMS pork promotion in January. Entries are open now and close on Friday 19th October.

The method of announcing results will copy that used over the last two years with the Savoury Pastry evaluation results. These will be announced on Sunday 6th January on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and on www.craftbutchers.co.uk

Last year’s experience of “Results Night” was extremely positive with a huge amount of activity on members’ social media pages and a considerable amount of anticipation and excitement!

We will have the major winners photographs professionally taken with the products for use in PR. These can be for members own use as well as hopefully used by media. To boost the potential publicity we have commissioned Maureen Young PR to issue press releases to the local media for all winners.

This will give the winning pork products a tremendous profile, so we hope as many members as possible enter these product evaluations. They should provide a shop window for products customers will be thinking of in January. Those who are addressing their indulgences over Christmas and want to lose weight will be interested in lean pork products.

Please take this opportunity to highlight products you make or have some concept of.

Entry forms and example judging sheets are downloadable below.
