The Great Taste Awards are highly coveted accolades, and this year nearly 3,500 companies entered with the hopes of having their products recognised. The sole criteria for the awards is taste, with the judging panel comprising of over 500 chefs, food critics, retailers and other food and drink industry specialists who, this year, had a staggering 13,672 products to review.
Entries were blind tasted and analysed over 92 judging days, with detailed feedback provided to all applicants whether they won an award or not. Awards are based on a 1-star to 3-star system, with 3* being the highest honour.
As expected, organic was a big winner with many of our favourite brands winning awards…
Biona won an incredible and well-deserved 13 awards, including a 3-star award for their Raw Virgin Coconut Oil!
