Irish stars of top tasting fare

When companies pay to enter 10,000 products in a food awards competition, you know it’s one that’s worth winning.

More than 2,100 companies across Europe entered their foods and drinks in the 2013 Great Taste Awards, which seeks out the very best foods for sale in the UK.

When the results were announced recently, more than 15 Irish companies discovered they have reached the highest standards and were awarded three-stars.
