Great Taste Awards 2010:
WE STRUCK GOLD – THREE TIMES!
Three of our four entries were awarded 2* Gold Medals! Not just any gold medals, but those with two stars! We are absolutely thrilled to see the reward for our never-ending efforts to maintain and if possible improve the high standard of the quality of our products, and to create new mouth-watering varieties.
These are the products that won the Great Taste 2010 2* Gold Medals:
- Irish Hot Smoked Organic Salmon with Honey, Lemon & Dill
- Irish Cold Smoked Organic Salmon with Honey, Whiskey & Fennel
- Cold Smoked Halibut
Considering that there were over 6,000 entries, and that only 457 products were awarded a 2* Gold Medal, this is definitely no mean feat!

Seafood Exporter Award for Burren Smokehouse!
After receiving awards after awards for the quality of our products, the Burren Smokehouse has been awarded for the service offered to our customers. The Seafood Exporter Award 2009, sponsored by Bord Biá, recognises companies in the seafood sector that have made significant progress in securing and building export markets for Irish seafood. The winner was Burren Smokehouse for its success in exporting 60% of its smoked organic and premium salmon, trout and mackerel to the USA, Europe and Japan. Birgitta received the award from Taoiseach Brian Cowen, Ireland’s prime minister (photo).
This award is a great milestone for us as it means that our efforts to reach customers in other countries - through innovation, customer-orientation and not the least a fully translated trilingual website and newsletter - are acknowledged.

Gold Medal – Blas na hEireann After the “Producer of the Year” Award received in September 2009, we received another award in October 2009: a gold medal in the fish category of the Blas na hEireann, the Irish food equivalent of the “Olympics” so to speak. The Blas na hÉireann Awards are the only Irish food awards that focus solely on taste, arguably the most important criteria for a food product, and the judging process, developed and overseen by the UCC Food Science Department is the most rigorous in the country.

“Producer of the Year” Award In September 2009, the Burren Smokehouse was voted “Producer of the Year” at the prestigious K Club in Straffan (home to the 2006 Ryder Cup). This fantastic event was held by Good Food Ireland in conjunction with Bord Bía.

… and one for the Hot smoked Organic Salmon with Honey and Dill. Just to give you a perspective: Over 160 experts in five locations were involved in more than 24 days of assessing and tasting. Almost 4,800 products from 2,021 small food producers were judged in this year’s awards – so our achievement is no mean feat!

In 2007, we did it again! We won the BEST IRISH PRODUCT OF THE SHOW award of SHOP 2007, Ireland’s Retail Food & Drink Event in September in Dublin. This great success was achieved by an innovative product that has a lot of health benefits: our new Honey, Lemon & Pepper Hot Smoked Organic Irish Salmon.
SHOP is Ireland’s Food and Drink Event.

The Burren Smokehouse has been given a very prestigious
award: the Irish SHOP Award 2006 for the Best Irish Food/
Beverage Product.
Our newly launched combination pack of cold smoked and hot smoked spiced organic salmon impressed the jury so much that they nominated it best retail product of the year 2006.
