Local Producer Amo Gelato Wins Gold at 2010 National Dairy Awards

Boyd and Stacie from Amo Gelato sent this to share with you guys:

“Gelato lovers from near and far tell us we make the best, and we now have a gold medal to prove it.

This is our first entry of any award, and while it’s a major win for us, it’s also a win for the region.  Using local ingredients is important to us, and we think our Mary Valley jersey milk makes fantastic gelato, and the best judges in Australia from the DIAA agree too.

It’s great that a family business from Noosaville can stand with the best and biggest in the industry.   Logistics for us is getting our little girl to school, so it helps that we produce a very local 2kms from our Gympie Terrace shop.

 Our customers are helping us develop our flavours too.  I’ve been making a chilli chocolate recently and I’ve come to realise that people who like the hot stuff are hard core, so we gave them more!   Feedback is invaluable, the judges “tasting notes” from the awards will be put to good use too.

 This is big for us. We believe in our product, our amazing regional produce, and take great joy in being part of the Noosa River experience.”

Raj reigns in the cold – Raj Indian review…

A steaming curry is the perfect antidote to a wintery Coast night. Curries and cold nights seem to complement one another. And as we sneak into winter, I think there will be one or two more warming curry nights to come. For my first such adventure of the season I visited Raj Indian restaurant on Noosaville’s popular Thomas St… >>>read more
