"After winning the Supreme Champion title in 2012, Hannan Meats then went on to win Best Speciality in Northern Ireland 2013, and this year the same regional Golden Fork title goes back with Hannan Meats to Moira in Craigavon, Armagh which is a magnificent result for Northern Ireland food as a whole.



"The quality of Hannan Meats' products is outstanding and our judges were impressed, not only with the winning Sweet Bacon Ribs but also with the Himalayan Salt Aged Rib of Beef which was also nominated for the award."



Hannan Meats uses fully traceable, local meat and traditional butchery skills combined with a unique Himalayan Salt Chamber for dry aging. Its Moyallon Sweet Bacon Ribs were described by one judge as "delicious sweetness with perfect fat and meat layers, well balanced and really very good".
