Great Taste Awards 2021

The Great Taste Awards are the world’s largest and most trusted food and drink awards. This year, 14,113 products have been blind-tasted and judged by selected chefs, cooks, buyers, retailers, restaurateurs, food critics and writers.

The team is celebrating as we have won a further 5 Great Taste Awards!


The stand out product was again the Fennel and Chilli Cheese Sablés which won a 3-star award for the third year in a row! Less than 2% of the products have received this distinction this year. 

 

Rupert Laing, one of our directors, said "we are incredibly proud that our sablés have now been recognised as some of the best little biscuits not only in Scotland, but in the world. Our amazing team work hard to make our biscuits in the same traditional way each day in the heart of Edinburgh and the results of this blind tasting make us all extremely happy"
