FOLLOWING more than 60 days of judging, the results of the Guild of Fine Food Great Taste, have been released.

One of Great Tastes three-star winners from the Midlands includes; a ‘generously filled’ cutting pie from Ludlow Food Centre, which is ‘wrapped in well-seasoned pastry’ and packed with local turkey, Gloucester Old Spot ham and redcurrant sauce.

As well as Ludlow Food Centre’s turkey & ham cutting pie gaining three gold stars, their Gloucester Old Spot chorizo won three stars, smoked back bacon won two stars along with their luxury hot chocolate and their truffle cheese with no name won one star.

“The Great Taste awards are the UK food-producers Oscars, something that we all aspire to win but only the very best succeed,” said Jon Edwards, managing director of Ludlow Food Centre.

“To have a product win a gold star tells our customers that they can buy with absolute confidence that it will not only deliver but exceed their expectations that the product has been through one of the most vigorous judging processes in the industry and blind tasted by some of the most passionate foodies in the UK.

While Ludlow Food Centre revel in their success, they will wait with much anticipation to see if they also scoop the top awards for their region.

These final honours, including the Great Taste 2017 supreme champion, will be announced at the Great Taste Golden Fork awards dinner on Monday, September 4, to be held at the Intercontinental Park Lane Hotel, London.
