The Butter People

🏆 Last Friday at the 2026 Perth Royal Food Awards marked another year celebrating WA’s Best Dairy. It was a great night catching up with fellow artisan producers (👋 , ) and friends in food (, , and ).

🏆Awards & Recognition:
We were so proud to receive 3x GOLD Medals, 1x SILVER Medal and also crowned CHAMPION Butter for our Spreadable Butter this year.

🥇 Spreadable (CHAMPION)
🥇 Herb & Chilli
🥇 Unsalted
🥈 Salted

The Story Behind the Spreadable:
This was particularly touching because the Spreadable Butter was the very first butter Kylie made at home all those years ago back in 2012. What started out as a little dollop for our own personal use turned into a full blown butter company that’s now recognised as some of the best butter around. We’re delighted that it’s getting the recognition it deserves, not just for the quality and taste but for the appreciation of using real olive oil rather than unnatural seed oils that other producers might opt for simply because it’s more profitable.

🫒 The Spreadable Butter truly is “crafted for those who know the difference.”

🙌 Massive congratulations to Bannister Downs Dairy who received (three!) CHAMPION trophies this year too for their:

🥛 Non-Homogenised Milk
🍒 Choc Cherry Delite, and
🐮 Delicious Cream (the very same cream Kylie’s been using since Day #1!)

👩‍⚖️ Judging:
Special thanks to Chief Judge, Roz Garstone for her stewardship of this years awards too (and many years past). For those who are interested check out the scoring criteria for what makes a Gold, Silver and Bronze product - it’s not simply a “1st, 2nd and 3rd Best” as many believe - products have to meet a threshold of quality which can result in no medals being awarded if not met.

🙏 Thank you for a wonderful event, we’ll see you again soon!

🤝 Something exciting is happening in the WA food space, and we want to introduce you to the people behind it.

🥩 Alpha Carnivore was built around a simple idea — that access to genuinely good food shouldn’t be hard work.

Real meat, proper butter (👋), quality eggs, mineral-rich salt — all sourced from WA producers who actually care — brought together in one place.

But it’s more than a curated shop. The team behind it believe that getting yourself right starts with what you put in your body. Not as a trend, not as ego — as a foundation. The “Alpha” in their name is about discipline, showing up consistently, and performing at your best for the people and things that matter.

We’re proud to be one of the WA producers they’ve chosen to stock, and we love that they’re committed to telling the stories behind the brands they carry — not just moving product.

If that resonates with you, head over and give them a follow.👇
