Nationwide, 120 producers were received state awards across the Dairy, Paddock, Sea and Earth categories after nomination from the country’s top chefs and restaurateurs.

As a state winner, Tathra Oysters will progress through the competition to the national judging phase.

Now in their thirteenth year, the Delicious Produce Awards aim to spotlight new and native products, and consistently outstanding producers who are often the unsung heroes behind every great chef and every great meal.
