The
Guild of Fine Food organise
the annual Great
Taste Awards
Uig Lodge Smoked Salmon celebrated after winning
a prestigious Great Taste Award. The company
has been presented with a Gold Great
Taste Award for its Oak Smoked Salmon.
Regarded as the industry Oscars, The Guild of
Fine Food’s annual Great Taste
Awards are
the UK’s largest independent evaluation
of fine food and drink.
Each year, almost 4,500 foods are blind-tasted
by up to three separate teams of experts before
the awards are made. Since May there have been
nearly two weeks of tasting by over 400 independent
judges and Gold Awards have been given out for
excellence in taste, texture and flavour.
Bob Farrand of the
Guild of Fine Food, said: “These
awards have been running for 14 years now and
are
a recognized mark of excellence that consumers
can trust and rely on.
“
The winning products have been through a
thorough judging process and we are able to assure
consumers
that the Great Taste logo, which all award winners
can use, signifies genuine, proven fine food.
It’s not just a supermarket premium marketing
slogan that bears almost no relation to the quality
of the food in the packet.
“
The Great Taste Awards reflect
what is happening in the fine food halls, delicatessens
and farm
shops throughout the UK and during judging we
tasted some fantastic gourmet delicacies from
all over the world.”
Situated on the most
north westerly point of Scotland, Uig
Lodge has
long been renowned for its fly fishing and over
the last twenty years has earned a reputation
for producing some of the finest smoked salmon
in the British Isles. To meet the increasing
demands from London hotels and restaurants, the
business has now opened a London base in New
Covent Garden which it shares with Murray’s
Fresh Fish.
Dickon Green, of Uig
Lodge Smoked Salmon, said: ‘ this
award represents an excellent achievement and
serves as a great
testament to the skill and dedication of all
those connected with the smokery. We believe
that our smoked salmon is amongst some of the
finest in Scotland and so it is great to get
this recognition from the British food industry.’
