Follow on Google News | New Bennett Opie brand scoops top award – before it’s launched!Kent food producer Bennett Opie is launching a new brand - Garden of England to enable them to expand and enter new retail markets. Garden of England has just scooped an award despite not being officially launched until September!
Garden of England’s new range of preserves, condiments, compotes, pickles and chutneys is made using English fruit and vegetables that are grown on carefully selected farms across the UK. And, it was Garden of England’s Pickled Shallots that gained a Gold 2 star award at the Great Taste Awards, the world’s largest food awards scheme. “We are delighted that the Garden of England range has been recognised with an award before it has been officially launched. It is a phenomenal achievement as there were almost 10,000 entries to the Great Taste Awards” explains Paul Mendel, Brand Manager at Garden of England. The Great Taste Awards provide the ideal benchmark for food producers as their focus is on taste and quality rather than the brand or elaborate packaging. All products are blind tasted by a panel of industry experts including food writers and food buyers from premium stores such as Harrods, Fortnum & Mason and Selfridges. It is a rigorous judging process and only the very best attain an award. “Consumers are looking for products that are authentic and have provenance and we are committed to providing this as well as supporting English farmers and growers. The preserves all follow time-honoured recipes and processes and by using seasonal English produce and a traditional style of labelling we are simply going back to basics. It is very much reminiscent of how things used to be.” The Garden of England brand, which will be reserved for farm shops, delicatessens and independent stores, will be officially launched at a key London trade show, Speciality & Fine Food Fair in September.
