For the second straight year, Slow Food UK will be showcasing a range of fantastic Scottish producers within the Slow Food Pavilion at the BBC Good Food Show Scotland (the official show partner of Slow Food UK during 2009).

Thanks to our sponsors, The Balvenie Single Malt & Grana Padano, we are able to offer bursary & supported stands to small Scottish producers who otherwise wouldn't have the resources to appear at a show of this scale (the show attracts 15,000 visitors over 3 days), thus giving them the to introduce themselves to a far wider audience.

Convivia around the country nominated dozens of producers and following a varied and fascinating tasting session - from rich hand-raised pork pies to artisan ales - we are extremely pleased to announce the Bursary Award Winners for the 2009 show;

Acanthus Hand Raised Pies – traditional, artisan, hand raised meat pies from Glasgow
Dumachloy Rosie Veal – sustainably produced veal from the Isle of Bute
Different Breid – traditional, organic sourdough breads from Glasgow
Great Glen Game – smoked and cured venison from Fort William
Peelham Farm Produce – organic, native breed meats from the Borders
Traquair House Brewery – artisan ales from an historical microbrewery in the Borders

The final list of all the producers within the pavillion will be announced shortly & we'll update the list. More generally this year's BBC Good Food Show Scotland is packed with new attractions and gourmet foods; with over 200 producers and some of TV's top celebrity chefs, it'll be a day to remember.

Just like last year, Slow Food UK will be running a whole range of Taste Workshops over the three days, offering a rare chance to sample the finest food and drink being reared, grown or brewed by some of the Scotland’s best small producers. During each of the workshops producers will explain areas of our food heritage and how that reflects in the flavour and quality of what we eat.
