TOP PRODUCTS of the "Appreciate Polish" program
The „Appreciate Polish” quality mark is not awarded automatically. Emblems are only given to products with the so-called Polish accent, which will get high marks (minimum 7.5 points) for taste, appearance and value for money. The title of TOP PRODUCT is given to food, which will receive maximum marks. Each food item is checked individually by all members of the program’s jury, that is the Expert’s Lodge. For each of the aforementioned traits it is possible to score between 1 to 10 points. Experts are chaired by Mirek Drewniak, a gastronomy chef, a co-founder and a member of the Chefs’ Club.
On July 26, 2017 food certification took place as part of the National Polish Promotional Program „Appreciate Polish”. One of the winners of the “Appreciate Polish” program is ELLIOT Sub-Carpathian Blueberry Growers Group Ltd. The company from Bratkowice has obtained the quality certificate and the title of TOP PRODUCTS for the fruit of American blueberry.
- The importance of the „Appreciate Polish” certificate is evidenced not only by the fact that it is awarded only to products tested by experts. The honorary patronage over all food audits of the „Appreciate Polish” program is held by the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development. The emblem itself is given for a specific product and not for the activity as a whole, it is granted for a definite period of time. For producers, receiving a certificate is a reason to be proud. In turn, for consumers looking for good polish food, this is a clear indication – says Marek Bielski, creator of the National Polish Promotional Program „Appreciate Polish”.
The aim of the „Appreciate Polish” program is to promote high quality food products available on the Polish market. Their selection, evaluation and awarding of the “Appreciate Polish” certificate is carried out by experts professionally associated with food and nutrition technology, who form the Experts’ Lodge. There are, among others, memebers of the Chefs’ Club.
The creator of the „Appreciate Polish” program is also the organizer of the project BlogerChef(blogerchef.pl) – an innovative venture aimed at culinary bloggers.
