Australian Foodie wins 3 Great Taste Awards Gold Medals. The Great Taste Awards UK - The Pinnacle food event globally. Yet this little Aussie foodie had bagged 3 golds.

In 2015, Opera Foods proudly achieved a rare feat for an Australian food manufacturer — winning three Gold Medals at the prestigious Great Taste Awards in the United Kingdom, often described as the “Oscars of the food world.”

Judged by over 400 experts including chefs, food writers and retailers, the Great Taste Awards are one of the most respected blind-taste competitions globally. Receiving a Gold Medal is a significant honour, especially for a relatively small Australian producer competing against thousands of entries from around the world.

Our Award-Winning Products

Our gourmet granola and muesli ranges stood out for their exceptional flavour, texture, and use of high-quality Australian ingredients. These awards highlighted Opera Foods’ commitment to crafting premium breakfast cereals that deliver outstanding taste while meeting growing demand for healthier, cleaner-label options.

1. Plum Foods Maple Nut Crunch vegan granola (famouse as a foodservice granola in Australia)- Gold Medal winner.

2. Plum Foods Maple Nut Crunch Gluten Free Vegan Granola Granola - Gold Medal winner.

3. Mulberry Tree, Toasted Cranberry Granola a nutritious and healthy granola product - Gold Medal winner.

A Proud Moment in Our Journey

The three Gold Medals are treasured. Back in June 2015, Opera Foods was acquired by the Silk Family, who brought extensive experience from building Epicurean Kitchen into one of Australia’s leading gourmet food manufacturers.

Today, Opera Foods continues to build on this legacy through its flagship brands:

  • Plum Foods – Premium 500g and 1kg packaged breakfast cereals for supermarkets and independent grocery stores (including IGA)
  • Mulberry Tree – High-quality bulk breakfast cereals and granola for cafés, foodservice distributors and hospitality

Both brands specialise in gourmet granola, natural muesli, Bircher muesli, gluten-free cereals, and innovative healthy options including keto and high-protein varieties.

Why These Awards Still Matter

A Great Taste Gold Medal remains a powerful mark of quality. It gives retailers and consumers confidence that our cereals are not only nutritious but genuinely delicious — helping them stand out on crowded supermarket shelves and café menus.

Many of the same award-winning recipes and techniques continue to underpin the Plum Foods and Mulberry Tree ranges you can order today.

Proud of our heritage and even prouder of the quality we deliver every day.
