Merre Granola takes home Gold and Silver again at the Sydney Royal Fine Food Show!
Award-winning Western Australian granola is helping acai, yoghurt and hospitality businesses take their bowls to the next level
Western Australian premium granola producer Merre Granola has once again been recognised at the prestigious Sydney Royal Fine Food Show, taking home two Gold medals and one Silver medal in 2026.
The latest awards add to an impressive medal tally from 2025, when Merre Granola also secured two Gold medals and three Silver medals across its range.
In 2026, Merre’s Pecan Sugar & Spice Granola and Vanilla Porridge were awarded Gold, while Almond Vanilla Granola received Silver, with Original Beauty also coming in very close. In 2025, Nut Clusters and Maple & Coconut Clusters were awarded Gold, with Maple Almond Clusters, Honey Oat Clusters and Farmhouse Blend receiving Silver.
For Merre founder Estelle, the awards are recognition of something the business has believed from the beginning: granola can be so much more than breakfast cereal.
More than breakfast — the topping that makes the bowl
While granola has traditionally been associated with breakfast, Merre is seeing growing demand from acai bars, yoghurt shops, cafés and health-focused food businesses, where granola has become an essential part of the customer experience.
A great acai or yoghurt bowl is about more than the base. It is the combination of creamy textures, fresh fruit, colour and crunch — and the granola plays an important role in bringing it all together. Merre Granola is made to provide that finishing touch.
A layer of premium toasted granola can turn a simple acai or yoghurt bowl into something customers can see, taste and remember.
For acai and yoghurt businesses, the right granola isn't simply an ingredient. It can help create the texture, flavour and visual appeal that customers expect when they order a premium bowl.
“We’ve really seen how much granola has become part of the acai and yoghurt experience,” says Estelle.
“It’s the crunch on top, the flavour that complements the fruit and acai, and that finishing touch that makes the bowl feel complete. We want our granola to be something customers notice.”
From the farm to the bowl
Merre Granola was born from a connection to farming and Australian-grown produce, with the business drawing on high-quality Western Australian oats grown in the Wheatbelt.
Merre uses Australian-sourced ingredients wherever possible and focuses on creating toasted granolas with distinctive flavour, texture and crunch.
That versatility has helped Merre move beyond the traditional breakfast table and into a growing range of applications — from acai bowls and yoghurt parfaits to smoothie bowls, cafés, hotel buffets and dessert toppings.
For businesses, this means one premium granola can work across multiple parts of the menu.
Why the awards matter
The Sydney Royal Fine Food Show provides Australian food producers with the opportunity to have their products independently assessed by experienced judges.
For Merre, receiving medals across different products and across consecutive years is recognition of the consistency behind the range.
“We don’t make granola just to fill a bowl. We make it to lift the bowl.”
“That’s why we love working with acai and yoghurt businesses. Their customers are looking for something fresh, premium and enjoyable — and granola is such an important part of that experience.”
Helping businesses build better bowls
The growth of acai, smoothie and yoghurt businesses has created a new role for granola. It is no longer simply something served alongside milk at breakfast; it has become a signature topping and a key part of the finished product.
For businesses, the choice of granola can influence the overall eating experience — from the first visual impression to the final crunch.
Merre works with food-service customers to supply granola in commercial quantities, helping businesses create consistent bowls while offering a premium product their customers can enjoy.
The range can be used across acai bowls, yoghurt bowls, smoothie bowls, breakfast menus, parfaits and desserts, giving hospitality businesses flexibility across their menus.
And for businesses wanting something unique, Merre can also work with customers on specific blends, flavours and product development.
Why customers choose Merre
The growing collection of Sydney Royal medals gives Merre customers another reason to feel confident about the product they are putting on their menu.
Gold and Silver medals two years running are recognition of the quality that goes into the bowl — from the ingredients selected to the flavour, texture and finished product.
But for Merre, the ultimate test is still the customer.
“We’re proud of the medals, but what really matters to us is when a customer comes back and says their customers love the granola. That’s what we’re trying to achieve — making something genuinely delicious that businesses are proud to put on their bowls.”
With another Gold and Silver-winning year behind it, Merre Granola is continuing to build its reputation as a premium Australian granola producer — from the breakfast buffet to the acai bar, from yoghurt bowls to dessert.
