Great Taste 2015 announces new stars and MARLENKA Enterprises is a winner

The world’s most coveted blind-tasted food awards, Great Taste, has just released the Great Taste stars of 2015 and MARLENKA is amongst the producers celebrating as its Classic Honey Cake MARLENKA is now able to proudly carry the little gold and black Great Taste logo. 

 

 

Judged by over 400 of the most demanding palates belonging to food critics, chefs, cooks, restaurateurs, producers and a host of food writers and journalists, Great Taste is widely acknowledged as the most respected food accreditation scheme for artisan and speciality food producers.  When a product wears a Great Taste label it carries a badge of honour but more importantly, the Great Taste logo is a signpost to a wonderful tasting product – hundreds of judges have worked tirelessly to discover the very best, through hours and hours of blind-tasting a total of 10,000 different foods and drinks.       

“We are delighted with this year‘s Great Taste results and that our dedication to quality has received further recognition. It is especially pleasing that our flagship Classic honey cake has been awarded and hopefully all other of our product will follow next year”, explains Vince Moucha, MARLENKA Enterprises’ Managing Director. 

Recognised as a stamp of excellence among consumers and retailers alike, Great Taste values taste above all else, with branding and packaging ignored. Whether it is cheese, ale, steak or chutney being judged, all products are removed from their wrapper, jar or bottle before being tasted. The judges then savour, confer and re-taste to decide which products are worthy of a 1-, 2- or 3-star award. 

There were 10,000 Great Taste entries this year. The panel of judges included Masterchef judge and restaurant critic Charles Campion, TV presenter and cook, Aggie Mackenzie, Great British Bake Off winner, Frances Quinn, Masterchef the Professionals finalist, Adam Handling, food buyers from Harrods, Selfridges, Waitrose and Marks & Spencer, and chefs including James Golding, Chef Director of The Pig hotel group.
