Bold Flavours, Big Wins
When it comes to salami, flavour is everything. At Goose on the Loose, every recipe is built on authenticity, balance, and the pursuit of unforgettable taste. That passion has now been recognised at one of Australia’s most respected competitions — the 2025 Sydney Royal Agricultural Society Awards.
And the stars of the show? Two flavours that don’t just stand out — they shine: Calabrese and Chilli Bomb. Both proudly awarded Gold.
Their First Awards — And They’re Gold
For both Calabrese and Chilli Bomb, this year marks their very first time entering the awards stage. And what a debut — straight to the top with Gold medals.
It’s rare for new entries to claim the highest accolade right out of the gate, but these flavours proved themselves with bold taste, balance, and character that couldn’t be ignored.
Calabrese: A Classic with Power and Depth
The Calabrese is a love letter to Italian tradition. Bold, savoury, and spiced to perfection, it brings a warm, lingering heat that builds with each bite. What makes it shine is the balance — fiery enough to excite, yet smooth enough to pair beautifully with cheeses, wines, or even as the hero of a pizza.
Now officially a Gold medal winner, Calabrese has set the bar for what authentic, spicy salami should be.
Chilli Bomb: Fiery, Fearless, and Unapologetic
For those who crave intensity, the Chilli Bomb delivers. Packed with flavour and unapologetically bold, it’s a salami that knows exactly what it is: fiery, punchy, and impossible to forget.
The judges agreed — Chilli Bomb isn’t just about heat. It’s about complexity, with carefully balanced spice that enhances the richness of the meat. That’s why, in its very first competition, it walked away with Gold.
