Flood waters - broken, Borgo Salumi - restocked!

ABC television stars local business, JK’s Delicatessen as flood waters break in Ingham.

One of our loyal customers, JK’s Delicatessen, was one of the many businesses isolated by flood waters for 3 days when rivers peaked in Ingham, just prior to the Easter long weekend.  Fortunately the truck made it through the flood waters and she was able to restocked Borgo Salumi just in time for Easter Saturday trading. 

We wanted to thank Karen for mentioning us on ABC television, it was a wonderful unexpected surprise.  We invite everyone to support local, and visit Karen’s cafe.

Borgo Honoured with the 2010 AMIC Smallgoods Business Excellence Award

At Borgo, family, tradition, and passion for smallgoods have always guided everything we do. In 2010, our dedication and commitment to excellence were formally recognised when we were awarded the Smallgoods Business Excellence Award by the Australian Meat Industry Council (AMIC)—an incredible honour for our family-run business.

This award celebrates outstanding achievement and contribution to the Australian smallgoods industry, recognising not just quality products, but the hard work, innovation, and vision that drive a business forward. For Borgo, it was a moment to reflect on the journey of three generations of family tradition, craftsmanship, and a love for authentic Italian smallgoods.

Being named AMIC Smallgoods Business Excellence Award Winner was a proud milestone for everyone in the Borgo family - from our team in the production kitchen to those managing the business, and of course, the families who have supported us along the way. It was a reminder that care, quality, and passion are noticed, appreciated, and celebrated.

For Borgo, this award is more than a trophy - it represents the heart of our business: creating smallgoods with authentic flavour, traditional craftsmanship, and a commitment to excellence. Every slice of our salumi carries this spirit, and moments like this award remind us why we do what we do.

We remain deeply grateful to our loyal customers, our hardworking team, and our extended Borgo family. This recognition inspires us to continue pushing the boundaries of excellence in Australian smallgoods, one handcrafted product at a time.
