After a three-year hiatus, the 100% New Zealand Bacon and Ham Awards were back with a bang, hosting the largest attendance numbers in the event’s history on Thursday night.

We were thrilled to be back supporting our local smallgoods industry with Hally Labels being a gold sponsor, and the official medal label supplier, of the awards.

The awards evening was held at the picturesque Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, where attendees enjoyed the stunning views of the Auckland harbour and skyline.

Murray and Rachel enjoyed a somewhat rowdy and raucous evening, but all in good fun as they caught up with customers, entrants and the wider industry, who were all under the same roof again for the first time since 2018.

Congratulations to all the medal winners, in particular the two Supreme Award Winners: Warkworth Butchery and Westmere Butchery. The team at Warkworth Butchery took out New Zealand's top bacon award with their dry cured middle bacon entry, and Auckland's Westmere Butchery brought home New Zealand's best ham award for their bone-in leg ham.
