A FAMILY firm has been given two prestigious Great Taste Awards for its plum puddings.
Lewis and Cooper, of Northallerton, North Yorkshire won a three-star Gold Great Taste Award for its Gluten Free Plum Pudding and a one-star award for its Vegetarian Plum Pudding.
The Great Taste Awards, organised by the Guild of Fine Food, celebrates its 15th anniversary this year.
Its judging standards are the most rigorous in the UK. Every entry is blind tasted by teams of experts. By the time a product earns gold, it will have been assessed by at least three different teams.
This year's judges include Alex James, farmer, journalist and bass player with Blur, Mark Hix, the chef's chef, Charles Campion from Evening Standard and The Independent, Tom Parker-Bowles of UKTV Food's Market Kitchen and national food journalist Fiona Sims.
Victoria Howard, general manager of Lewis and Cooper, said: "We are delighted with this award. Winning a Great Taste Award recognises the craft and dedication that goes into making superb food and drink."
