Ozana butcher-shop wins the second edition of Top Butcher Romania
The trophy for the second edition of Top Butcher Romania competition, organized during the biggest food exhibition in Romania – Bucharest Food Expo - was awarded to Ozana butcher-shop team.
The team led by Ionut Anghel, one of the owners of the business, managed to obtain the highest score from the jury members.
After a tough judging, the second place went to the butchers from Carne si Sare, and the team of butchers from Meat & Bread ranked third.
Top Butcher Romania took place for three hours, and each competing team had at their disposal half a beef carcass, half a pork carcass, a whole lamb and five chicken carcasses, which they transformed into products with added value.
The butcher teams had to provide their own spices, marinades and garnishes in order to finish and present the products that should be designed to inspire and exceed the limits. The finished products were presented as if they could be sold in a retail setting.
"Much more than a simple competition, Top Butcher Romania is about the art of learning, sharing and innovating through new meat processing techniques designed to contribute to the development of the local meat industry. The concept of Top Butcher Romania is intended to create an environment in which Romanian butchers try to surpass the current practice of the industry in its different production stages: general preparation, meat processing and creative use of beef, pork, sheep and poultry products. Through this competition, we are building a professional community that will generate business opportunities and support the general trade to benefit from an infusion of creativity and innovation", declares Eugen CAPRA, General Manager Top Butcher Romania.
