A cluster of stars for Godminster
Makers of organic cheese, Godminster, is celebrating the news that its Organic Vintage Oak Smoked Cheddar, hand-made Digestive Biscuits and several other products have scooped Great Taste Awards for 2013.
Seen as the equivalent of chefs gaining a Michelin star, Great Taste is the UK’s largest and most rigorous food awards scheme involving over 400 judges and thousands of hours of blind tasting.
Godminster’s Organic Vintage Oak Smoked Cheddar has been awarded 1-star, the cheese, which is made to a 70-year old recipe, was commended by judges for its “natural smoky flavour and smooth texture”. Godminster was also awarded 1-star for its Beetroot and Apple Chutney, and for its Rosemary Water Biscuits.
The Great Taste Awards is simply about taste, not clever branding or smart packaging. Judges are presented with, for example, a piece of cheese, a pie or a little dish of chutney, with no wrappings, jars or marks – and they taste, confer and re-taste before making the decision on whether a product should win. In total more than 12 judges will have tasted and commented on each product.
Peter Andrew, CEO of Godminster, comments: “We are absolutely delighted to have picked up Great Taste stars for our products. The judges who hand out stars at the Great Taste Awards really know their stuff so it gives us a seal of approval like no other. And it means that whenever you see that famous Great Taste star on our packaging you are assured of something really tasty and high-quality. It makes all the hard work worthwhile and goes to show what a great team and range of products we have on offer here at Godminster.”
