14 gold medals for Frierss specialities

The high product quality of Frierss specialities was recently awarded with 14 gold medals by the DLG food test centre.

For many years now, Frierss has regularly taken part in the renowned quality test of the German Agricultural Society (DLG), where every year the best food and beverages are awarded in the categories gold, silver and bronze. The specialities of Carinthia's traditional company have always been awarded "gold" and this success story continues with impressive 14 "golds" at the 2022 awards. "We sent 14 products into the race. All of them were awarded the highest number of points. A nice confirmation of our uncompromising quality claim", Kurt Frierss proudly says.

Gold was awarded for classic Carinthian specialities such as the first-class mild Carinthian bacon ham, the hearty Carinthian mountain salami and Carinthia's finest extra sausage. The fact that the family successfully unites tradition and innovation is shown by the award also for  new products, such as Zirbenrauch ham, Zirbenrauch salami or the Kärntner Hauswürstel Zirbenrauch. The idea of smoking the ham over local stone pine wood from the Nockberge mountains, which gives it its particularly savoury taste with a subtle hint of stone pine, has convinced not only expert juries (Austria's Best Launch 2021, Shelf Hit 2021, Product Champion), but all consumers, so that this ham is one of the most popular hams specialties.

Top marks were also given to a true classic from the Italian range: Frierss Mortadella, which convinces connoisseurs and gourmets with its wonderful frying aroma. The Frierss family has received top marks for this speciality every year since 2014!

The DLG awards stand for the highest quality standards and are awarded by the experts of the German Agricultural Society after strict, objective testing. Sensory factors such as taste, smell and consistency as well as appearance of the products are evaluated.
