PRESS RELEASE

Irish Wild Smoked Salmon! It’s the Nation’s Favourite

Wild smoked salmon from Ireland has beaten over 4,500 entries nationwide to be honoured as the Great Taste Awards 2006 Supreme Champion.

Since May there have been eight full days of blind tasting by over 450 judges of over 4,500 food products, from which 530 ‘Gold’ certificates were awarded for excellence. These were judged for a second time and whittled down to a shortlist of the best 28 foods which were then blind tasted for a third time by a team of 12 experts from the food world. Judges included Richard Johnson, food writer from The Guardian and presenter of BBC’s Full on Food, Evening Standard’s Charles Campion, celebrity chef Giancarlo Caldesi from BBC2’s Return to Tuscany and Jennifer Sharp, restaurant reviewer for Harpers Bazaar.

The unanimous winner was Woodcock Smokery’s Irish wild smoked salmon which scooped the awards last night, winning Best Speciality and Best Fresh Product, before being crowned ‘Supreme Champion’. Judge Duncan Ackery from Tate Catering commented, “It was a very difficult decision but Woodcock’s salmon was just exquisite”. Other multi award winners on the night included Minghella Isle of Wight Limited for their Gin & Pink Grapefruit sorbet.
