Great Taste 2021 unveils the world’s finest food & drink
From Somerset to Seoul, Bordeaux to Bratislava, 5,383 food and drink products from every corner of the globe feature on this year’s list of Great Taste 1-, 2- and 3-star award-winners, which was announced on Tuesday 21 September 2021. A Chian Tangerine Spread made in Tavros Attica, Greece, a raw stingless bee honey harvested in Singapore and a lobster and crab flavoured butter created in Twickenham, are all among this year’s must-try products, having received critical acclaim from the largest and most trusted food and drink awards on the planet.
Following 86 socially-distanced judging days in London and Dorset, Great Taste, which values taste above all else, has unearthed the very finest food and drink from every nook and cranny of the world. Regardless of branding or packaging, each product is judged on a level playing field, according to its texture, appearance, composition and of course taste. Food critics, chefs, restaurateurs, retail buyers, cooks, producers and a host of food writers, journalists and social media influencers are among the 355 esteemed palates to have rigorously blind tasted and judged the 14,113 entries from 108 countries, while providing detailed written feedback for the producer.
Every Great Taste award-winning product will now be able to display the unmistakable black and gold logo, a stamp of excellence that is recognised by retailers and consumers alike. A wide range of these winning products are already available to buy in delis, farm shops and independent retail outlets across the UK and beyond.
All Great Taste 3-star award-winning products will be re-judged to find this year’s regional Golden Fork Trophy winners and the Great Taste Supreme Champion 2021. These final results will be announced at the Great Taste Golden Fork Reception on Sunday 17 October, set to be held at the Yorkshire Event Centre in Harrogate following the first day of Fine Food Show North, a trade-only exhibition organised by the Guild of Fine Food.
