Queensland-based, family-run Borgo Salumi has officially claimed its place as Australia’s most Platinum and Gold awarded smallgoods producer, after receiving 21 awards for 18 products entered at the prestigious 2025 IFFA DVA International Product Competition in Frankfurt, Germany, one of the world’s most revered smallgoods competitions.
Held every three years, the competition is hosted by the German Butchers’ Association and judged at IFFA, one of the world’s largest meat industry trade fairs.
Borgo Salumi’s accomplishment included three coveted Platinum trophies, 13 Gold medals, three Silver medals and two Bronze medals. Platinum is the highest honour bestowed at the IFFA Awards. When a product receives a Gold medal and it is deemed truly outstanding by the judges, it is re-assessed for potential Platinum recognition. This level is reserved for only the most exceptional entries – those that go above and beyond in quality, flavour, and craftsmanship.
At the IFFA 2025 Awards, Borgo Salumi achieved this elite status with three of its products being awarded platinum: Friulano Salame; Salame al Prosciutto and Pistachio; and Free-Range Prosciutto Borgo. This rare triple win is a testament to Borgo’s dedication to tradition, quality, and artisanal excellence.
