What Are the Great Taste Awards?
The Great Taste Awards, organised by the Guild of Fine Food, are widely regarded as the most respected accreditation in the food and drink industry. With more than 12,000 products submitted each year, entries undergo rigorous blind tasting by a panel of over 500 expert judges, including Michelin-starred chefs, buyers, critics and culinary writers.
Only around 30% of submissions are awarded stars, making recognition an exceptional honour:
-
1-Star — Simply delicious
-
2-Star — Above and beyond delicious
-
3-Star — Exquisite, faultless, and unforgettable
