Southover Wins BPEX Pork Product of the Year

It was an honour for Southover to be category winner for best cured product along with a number of other awards at this year’s BPEX awards up in London at the Butchers Hall, but the big shock came when Southover’s Free Range Cured Roast Loin of Pork was announced as overall winner for Pork Product of the Year.

This is the highest award possible at the British Pig Executive annual event and there is only one winner. All the category awards are notified in advance, so Southover was fully aware of their other wins before the award ceremonies, but as the Product of the Year is only announced on the day it was a real bolt from the blue to discover that they had won.

The Free Range Cured Roast Loin of Pork is a sliced product produced from local stocks sourced from Sussex and Hampshire bred free-range pigs. The product is prepared by hand and then cured and roasted using traditional methods.

The competition was very strong and the standards were exceptionally high with some very good products making it to the last stage of judging, but out of the six finalists Southover’s Loin of Pork secured its position as the best product overall at the event.

The BPEX awards are very important to the trade as they uphold the standards that make British Pork an industry leader. To win the top award offered by such an organisation is a great honour indeed and Southover will be proud to carry this accolade until the following year.
