Oyster pie wins 139th award

A Umina bakery has received its 139th meat pie award for its new oyster aphrodisiac pie.

Bremen Patisserie received a silver medal at the 18th Official Great Aussie Meat Pie Competition in Darling Harbour on September 27.

"We are very honoured and proud to receive the award," business owner Mr Ron Bruns said.

"We get a lot of satisfaction from these awards because it means we are delivering tasty and good quality food to the community."

Mr Bruns has lived on the Peninsula and owned the bakery for over 18 years.

He said the secret to making the best pie is a passion for cooking, a love of food and preparing the ingredients the right way.

"We are now even more determined to succeed and continue delivering great food to the community," Mr Bruns said.

"The best reward is our customer's satisfaction with our food."

The oyster aphrodisiac pie is available every Friday.
