The Great Taste Awards results are in! We are proud to announce that Apple & Cider Brandy Chutney won 2 stars and Sticky Fig Relish, Robust Wholegrain Mustard and Fresh Chilli Jam all won a gold star!
Our show stopping win however was awarded to our Tewkesbury Hot Mustard, which not only won 3 gold stars, the highest star rating, but, it has also been named as one of BRITAIN’S TOP 50 FOODS!
Like our Strong Horseradish Cream in 2012, this result means that our Tewkesbury Hot Mustard joins the ranks of some of the most outstanding foods available and is worth searching for. A fiery smooth mustard with horseradish, the judges’ comments included; “what power, what energy, what fire – a great mustard!” and “a rich and delicious mustard. What a delight.”
