The awards were open to all manufacturers of Australian smallgoods products across five categories:

– Dry / Cured
– General Smallgoods

Our impressive line-up of judges included fleischmeisters, award-winning and celebrity chefs, artisan smallgoods makers, and industry legends.

Gold, Silver and Bronze medals were awarded in line with set judging criteria, which is points-based, there may be multiple winners per medal level. The highest point scorer in each category was awarded Australian Category Champion. 

The 2022 awards were announced on Wednesday 31 August 2022 at the Australian Charcuterie Excellence Awards dinner hosted by Richard Cornish at Angliss Restaurant in Melbourne.
