JTS 2019 Great Taste award winners
We have recently heard back from the Guild of Fine Food regarding our Great Taste award winners. Please see below for our magnificent winning products and what the judges said about them:
"Delicious, creamy, light and subtle. Literally melts in the mouth. Very light, packed full of flavour and extremely moreish. We loved it. A great alternative to clotted cream on scones".
"A deliciously sweet and fresh coconut milk. Pure with no 'over ripe' notes which can be found in coconut milk. Delicious, fresh flavoured, naturally sweet and rich."
"Coconut cream is rich and creamy with a strong coconut flavour. The coconut milk is not oily but does leave a powdery feel on the palate. Both are good to taste but the flavour does not linger or develop."
"Smooth and creamy and light and fresh - what's not to like?!"
"A deep glowing ruby jam with floral aroma with a hint of smokiness. The texture is slightly chunky, firm and spreadable. The flavour is pleasingly fruity, fragrant and acidic and not over sweet. This would be a perfect jam for anyone who prefers less sweet flavours."
"Fabulous garnet colour. Has that unmistakable tang of Hibiscus. Full of texture although soft enough not be offensive. It's sharper than it is sweet, a relish rather than a jam. Judges divided over texture, too many bits for some and also should be sweeter it its called a jam. Interesting product we feel needs refining but shows great promise."
"Lovely fruity aroma. Flavours sing and the jam has beautifully cooked out fruit and skins. The fruit notes continue on for ages - great length."
"This marmalade is a lovely amber colour and a wonderful soft set. We like the large pieces of orange rind. The orange and cinnamon flavours complement each other well producing an appealing, warming eat."
"Visually attractive colour and cinnamon on the nose. Judges felt that the peel was far too big but had a good bitterness to it."
"A speckled marmalade with a strong aroma of cinnamon. On the palate the peel feels at first quite firm but it gives way to delicious citrus fragrance - then we taste the cinnamon again. Warming and not too dominant, we love the balance of this marmalade and it has an intriguing flavour profile."
"Paste looks and smells authentic. Packed with spices delivering an intense, zingy fresh clean flavour. Judges felt that when cooked with tomatoes it lost its impact and its complexity slightly."
"The paste itself looks and tastes quite authentic and has a good mix of flavours. In the cooked curry we it needs more of the paste to be distinctive."
"Indeed aromatic, with beautifully even, snowy coloured grains; on the palate there is a delightful sweetness alongside the aromatics, a good bite - and excellent persistence of flavour."
"This rice has cooked really well with a slightly sticky outside and a bite in the middle. The rice has a gentle aromatic flavour but we didn't feel it was terribly distinctive."
"Good fluffy rice that has an almost meaty flavour profile."
