Jumpers and Jazz invites Southern Downs producers

Jumpers and Jazz in July draws thousands of visitors to the Warwick CBD and the Southern Downs region each year.

Organisers are keen to invite producers from across the region to “show and tell” their product at their annual “Celebration of Local Flavours” event on Palmerin Street – this year on Saturday 30 July.

Not only do producers get to share their stories and their variety of products on the day, but the event has also proved invaluable for those featuring an online presence, with ongoing sales growing annually across Australia.

Producers will also have opportunity this year to contribute to tasting platters served from a ‘chef’s hub’ at the all new ticketed Al Fresco Eatery on Palmerin near the Park with live entertainment by Festival Jazz n Blues performers and beverages to suit most tastes.

There are now many success stories emerging from Celebration of Local Flavours in 2021, and Truffle Discovery Centre’s Matt Hiberd was keen to share his excitement.

“The Truffle Discovery Centre returns after a successful Celebration of Local Flavours in 2021,“ Matt said.  

“This proved a cost effective and successful event to bring our product direct to the tens of thousands of visitors during the Jumpers and Jazz festival and we look forward to an even bigger and better 2022 festival.“

He said that visitors were keen to explore their extensive truffle condiment range including oils, balsamic, aioli, mustard, honey, salt, pasta sauce, brie, butter, mayo and non-truffle gourmet goodies including jams and chutneys.

“The Truffle Discovery Centre and Granite Belt Gourmet are the Southern Downs and Granite Belts only specialist truffle producing,“ Matt said.

“The centre is home to the regions first ‘open to the public truffiere’ who trains truffle detection dogs often sourced from rescues and pounds and produces delicious goodies with free entry and free tastings available.”
