A preserves firm in Fermanagh has won gold medals in the Great Taste Awards for a second year.
Erin Grove Preserves won the awards at the event organised by the Guild of Fine Food, a national, benchmarked food awards employing the most rigorous judging system.
The 2010 GTAs has attracted a record number of entries. In total, 6021 food and drink products were blind-tasted, tested and discussed during two months of intense judging by 350 judges, comprising food writers, chefs, deli and farm shop owners, food producers and buyers.
The Guild of Fine Food's Bob Farrand commented, "We have worked hard to ensure our judging process is as robust as possible. Judging teams are balanced in terms of experience, background and even gender and every Gold Award winning entry has been independently proven to be of the highest standard".
Jayne Paget of Erin Grove Preserves said: "We are delighted to have won gold awards this year again and it is an excellent endorsement to the quality of our products that we are able to compete at a national level." Erin Grove won two awards - two stars for their Spiced Apple Chutney and one star for their Mediterranean Chutney.
Erin Grove's products will be featured next week in the Food Hall at Fermanagh County Show which will be an excellent opportunity to sample their award winning products.
