Winners are griners

New Zealand King Salmon export sales manager Graeme Tregidga is all smiles flanked by European chefs holding the six awards presented to the company at the recent International Taste and Quality Institute (iTQi) Superior Taste Awards in Brussels. New Zealand King Salmon (NZKS) entered six products in the various awards categories and each received either the maximum three stars or two. Three stars are awarded for ‘exceptional’ products with 90 per cent and more total marks while ‘remarkable’ products achieve two stars and score between 80 and 90 per cent. NZKS CEO Grant Rosewarne says the awards represent huge endorsement for the two brands in key markets. “We are delighted to gain prestige endorsement of our products from members of 12 of the most famous European culinary associations. The awards reflect well not only on our brands but also the pure New Zealand brand we are so closely associated with.”
