Oct 24, 2016Black Gold Farms wins recipe contest at Fresh Summit
For the first time ever, one recipe won both the Buyers’ Choice and Kids’ Choice awards in the Sensory Experience Contest at the PMA Fresh Summit in Orlando, Florida.
Chipotle Red Potato Lettuce Cups, a recipe submitted by Black Gold Farms, was selected by both judging panels from 45 entries received by PMA. The top 10 were tasted at the event. The double award win ignited a winning weekend for Black Gold Farms, who unveiled their new REDVENTURE campaign during the Fresh Summit Expo.
Exhibitors in the expo were challenged to create a recipe with produce featured as the star; a recipe that is kid-friendly, innovative, appealing in aroma, appearance and taste.
The 15 judges were chefs and produce professionals. Each judge was paired with an elementary school student from the area. The judges and kids ranked the dishes individually.
Black Gold Farms’ year-long REDVENTURE campaign celebrates the connection between adventurous recipes and red potatoes, according to the company.
