Hojiblanca Deortegas 2 Stars at the Great Taste 2020 UK
2 Stars for Hojiblanca Deortegas in the Great Taste 2020 UK, one of the most respected international competitions in the world. A few days before the campaign begins, this good news encourages us to continue striving to offer you the best of our fruit.
'Great Taste' - the world's most trusted food and drink awards - has announced its 2020 stars and the 12,777 products submitted from 106 different countries.
Judged by 144 of the most discerning palates, including food critics, chefs, cooks, restaurateurs, buyers, retailers and producers, as well as food writers and journalists, Great Taste is the most coveted of all food and drink awards.
In addition to a badge of honor, the unmistakable black and gold Great Taste label is an indicator of an exceptional product, which has been discovered through hours and hours of blind tasting.
This year's winners have been found through a combination of remote judging and socially distanced qualifying sessions, after lockdown began just a week into scheduling.
This required a rapid and complete reinvention of the Great Taste process to ensure that robust judging standards were maintained and the quality of feedback was not compromised, all in time to provide a much-needed boost to food and beverage producers during the all-important Christmas. period.
Great Taste is the world's largest and most trusted food and beverage award offering a unique judging system and framework.
Great Taste, recognized as a seal of excellence among consumers and retailers, values taste above all, regardless of brand and packaging. Whether judging cake, coffee, herring or kombucha, all products are removed from their packaging, jar, box or bottle before being tasted.
Judges then taste, consult, and taste again to decide which products deserve a 1, 2, or 3-star award.
This year's judging panel included chef, writer and sustainable eating advocate Melissa Hemsley; cook, writer, stylist and voice of modern vegetarian cuisine, Anna Jones; Spanish celebrity chef José Pizarro, Kavi Thakrar of Dishoom; food writer and cook, Xanthe Clay; and baker and author Martha Collison, as well as food buyers from Selfridges, Fortnum and Mason and Waitrose.
