Delicious wins top taste award

DELICIOUS Gourmet Foods broke new ground for Ireland’s specialist food sector when produce from the Delicious bakery, the only coeliac-dedicated artisan bakery operating in Ireland, scooped a coveted gold award at the prestigious Great Taste Awards 2008, Britain’s most authoritative, independent standard for Britain’s fine food sector.

Delicious’ winning gluten-free Apple Square was just one of the 4,800 products competing in this year’s awards which were tasted and tested by 160 experts. The specialist Cork baker was one of 2,000-plus small food producers to enter this year’s awards.

The award coincides with the forthcoming national launch of the Delicious “on the go” range which was developed in response to strong consumer demand for the Delicious range of cakes and breads.
