Jennifer Williams of Naked Jam in Barton-on-Sea is celebrating the news that its Raspberry Jam 1 Star and Lemon Curd 2 Stars has wowed judges in Great Taste Awards 2013.
They have been awarded the star ratings in the world’s largest and most rigorous food awards scheme, involving over 400 judges and thousands of hours of blind tasting.
Great Taste is simply about taste, not clever branding or smart packaging. Judges are presented with, for example, a piece of cheese, a pie or a little dish of chutney, with no wrappings, jars or marks – and they taste, confer and re-taste before making the decision on whether a product should be a 1-, 2- or 3-star winner. In total more than 12 judges will have tasted and commented on each product.
Jennifer said; "I never entered before and was advised by my colleagues and piers to do so. So I send off 2 products and I am overwhelmed that on my first turn out I managed to get a couple of stars. It reinforces the fact that I use local produce and it wins out thank you to my local farms and Fluffets Farm’s eggs for providing the best freshest eggs out!
Local Naked Jam Stockists are Setley Ridge Farm Shop and Hartizans Deli Christchurch.
Out of almost 10,000 products entered into Great Taste 2013 just 125 have been awarded 3-star. All 3-star products have been re-judged by a panel including Masterchef judge and restaurant critic Charles Champion, food buyers from Harrods, Fortnum & Mason, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and Whole Food Markets, plus Michelin Star chef Russell Brown. Together they have decided on the 2013 Top 50 Foods, the Golden Fork Trophy winners, as well as the new 2013 Supreme Champion.
Finally on Monday, 9 September, at a nail-biting Awards’ Dinner at the Royal Gardens Hotel, London, the great and the good from the world of fine food will gather to hear who has won the Golden Fork Awards and the final applause will be reserved for the Great Taste Supreme Champion 2013.
