Connacht Gold softer butter achieves gold star status for third year running

Connacht Gold has been awarded the highest accolade of three stars for its softer butter at the UK and Ireland Great Taste Awards 2012.

For the third year in a row Connacht Gold butter achieved gold star status, with the butter being among the top 1% of products to achieve the coveted three star award in this year’s competition.

Out of almost 9,000 food products entered by 1,800 companies, just 123 products were awarded three stars — the definition of “an exquisite food that has that indefinable something extra”.
