The proof is certainly in the pudding for Horgan's Delicatessen Supplies in Mitchelstown, who won two awards at the 6th annual Blas na hÉireann awards.

Their Irish Angus Silverside Roast Beef and Irish Angus Silverside Pastrami were awarded best in the cured meat category and both products derive from a family recipe which uses the highest quality ingredients.

The beef is aged for at least 14 days prior to roasting and is then seasoned simply with sea salt and cracked black pepper. The pastrami is cured and cooked before being coated with cracked black peppercorns. 

These awards are the biggest blind tasting of produce in the country and the entries are tasted by more than 60 judges.

“Our Irish Angus Beef is renowned for its superior taste, succulence and flavour. A lot of care goes into our meat products and we believe that care is the key ingredient in producing these delicious meats. The marbling and texture of Angus beef ensures natural tenderness and flavour. Winning these awards just copper-fastens the quality of our products," Managing Director, Michael Horgan said.
