An Ellerslie butcher is savouring the knowledge that he makes the best traditional pork sausage in the country.

Ian Groves, the owner of Ellerslie Meats, won gold for his pork sausage, as well as bronzes for his gourmet apricot and chicken and boerwors creations at the Great New Zealand Sausage Competition.

After contesting the title for the last seven years, the elite prize is a welcome reward.

"One year we got five silvers and two bronze but this is the first year we've got a gold," he says.

"It's a bit of a buzz."

So what's the secret to making a fine sausage?

"Good meat. And you have to love what you're doing," Mr Groves says.

A butcher for 32 years, he's owned the store, which specialises in organic and gluten-free meat, for eight years.

He makes about 1000kg of sausages a week in 15 varieties.
