These are the finalists of the Great Grillworst Test 2023

Grillworst

Every year, the Great Grillworst Test is organised – a professional competition by the Royal Dutch Butchers’ Association (KNS). Where can you find the tastiest grillworst in the Netherlands? At one of these ten finalists of the Great Grillworst Test.

For this edition, 90 butchers submitted their grillworst for judging. A professional jury assessed the artisanal grillworsts on, among other things, taste, appearance and texture. And the good news is: the tastiest artisanal grillworsts, from well-known and new artisanal butchers, can be found throughout the country.

How does a grillworst become a finalist?

Every finalist has their own secret, but what all ten finalists have in common is that their grillworst is tender and juicy, while still having enough bite. Naturally made with fresh ingredients and grilled at the right temperature.

The finalists (in random order)

‘These are true top performers. All finalists have products with a beautiful, fresh and clear meat structure, a good bite and a characteristic grilled flavour’, the jury said about the judging. And this is where you need to go for such a delicious sausage:
