Nagrade The Great Taste Awards so danes razkrile dolg seznam pohval za impresiven nabor blagovnih znamk, tako domače kot tuje.
Kot znak odličnosti so akreditacijske smernice, ki jih organizira Guild of Fine Food, na prvem mestu postavljajo okus.
Letna nagrada poteka pred sodiščem sodnikov – sestavljenim iz kuharjev, restavratorjev, proizvajalcev, kritik, piscev in novinarjev – ki so povabljeni, da preizkusijo različne izdelke, pri čemer so ti izdelki odstranjeni iz embalaže in blagovne znamke.
Letos je bilo proslavljenih več irskih podjetij, pri čemer so vsakemu podelili 1 zvezdico, 2 zvezdici ali 3 zvezdice. Poln seznam si lahko ogledate na dnu tega članka.
Po objavi so bili nekateri letošnji izdelki s 3 zvezdicami iz celotnega tekmovanja uvrščeni v prestižne nagrade Golden Fork, ki priznavajo najboljšo hrano in pijačo na svetu.
Letos so tri izdelki iz Irske in tri iz Severne Irske uvrščeni v uži izbor.
