Great Taste Awards 2008

May 2008

Once again this year our owner, Claire, was a judge at the Great Taste Awards (the food industry Oscars). She judged categories that included pies, black pudding, marmalade, ice cream, brownies and chocolate truffles.

For those of you that aren't familiar with the awards they really are an indicator of quality. Unlike the "finest" or "taste the difference" ranges in the supermarkets (which are just the supermarkets' own opinions about their own products) if a product is awarded Gold at the Great Taste Awards you know that it has been chosen in blind tastings by independent food industry professionals.
