The star of the 10-product range was the chilli jam, which features anise myrtle, an indigenous herb grown in Kendall. The hugely-popular chilli jam was awarded a gold medal at the Royal Hobart Fine Food Awards and a bronze at the Sydney Royal Fine Food Awards.
Bronze medals also went to the Bago Bluff strawberry jam (Sydney), mustard pickles (Sydney), corn relish ((Sydney) and balsamic vinegar (Hobart).
"To be recognised at two of the country's most esteemed fine food awards, which attract thousands of entries, is a true testament to quality of our products, which are all locally-made and showcase a variety of locally-sourced produce," Hastings Co-op's chief executive officer Allan Gordon said.
"Since introducing Bago Bluff in 2016, we've been lucky to attract 25 awards, but the most rewarding aspect is hearing how much our customers love the range. Foodies have really embraced Bago Bluff and we're constantly getting positive feedback - from IGA supermarket customers to local cafes and respected Hunter Vallery eateries.
"Our intent was to showcase the best locally-grown produce and raw ingredients and offer something unique to the Mid North Coast that would help boost employment and the local economy, so we couldn't be prouder," added Mr Gordon.
The winning Bago Bluff range includes chilli jam, tomato relish, corn relish, mustard pickles, lemon infused olive oil, caramelised balsamic vinegar, quince paste, marmalade, strawberry jam and yellowbox honey. They can be bought at Hastings Co-op businesses and local eateries and in hampers or commercial quantities. For more information visit www.hastingscoop.com.au/bagobluff
