We’re absolutely chuffed to bits that our little stars have picked up so many Taste of the West awards this year. Our Kiln Roasted Harissa Almonds and Genovese Pesto came top of the class, both scooping GOLD awards, not bad for our pesto’s very first time in front of the judges (although Giles has been perfecting the recipe for 18 years – so he has got it pretty spot on!).
Hundreds and hundreds of brilliant entries have now been whittled down to the last three delis in Deli of the Year 2011. The panel of independent, expert judges, including last years’ Deli of the Year winner and food writers, retailers, authors and buyers (people who really know their onions in balsamic) have had their say and now we’re all waiting for the big announcement on September 5th.
We’d like to say a big CONGRATULATIONS to our finalists El’s Kitchen in…
After some fairly indifferent spells of weather over the past few months we’ve finally hit some bouts of real sunshine, well at least here in Dorset! The kids are off school, and we oliveers have various trips and holidays planned. From weeks in Sardinia and Sicily to long weekends camping in yurts (fancy tepees!!) in deepest Devon, we’ve got lots planned and we’ll get some photos up on facebook soon to show you where we’ve been.
But we want…
We were everywhere last week, from Judging Deli of the Year in London, to attending the Bridport and Cheltenham Food Festivals, all the oliveers on the road had a great time!
The DOTY judging at Fortnum and Mason was a difficult job – there were so many fantastic entries for each region, getting down to the final 11 was no mean feat, now we’re all very excited to see who will become the overall champion.
Bridport Food Festival was great…
Wow, what a week it’s been already …… and it doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. We started with the small matter of launching the pesto that we’ve been perfecting for the past 18 years and then moved on to the very exciting first round of judging for DOTY!
It may have taken us a long time to get there, but at last we’ve finally achieved a knock-out recipe for our new pesto and it’s been worth…
Well finally it’s drawing to a close – everywhere we look we have piles of fantastic deli entry packs, which makes us all very happy. The standard this year is exceptional and it’s been truly inspirational to see the efforts being made at delis up and down the Country to make buying great food an exciting experience and never a chore. We would like to thank everyone that has sent in an entry – so ……….thanks!
As well as organising…
For months now we’ve been sounding the rallying cry for delis everywhere, shouting from the roof tops to let everyone know that if you are a deli or farm shop – big or small, town or country, high street or rural, then we have THE competition for you!!! Now the nominations and entry stage is drawing near its closing date – but it’s not over yet.
We have the whole country covered – if nothing else we have the perfect map…
As we enter the final week or so of Deli of the Year we thought we should remind everyone that if you are someone’s favourite deli – then it’s time to send in your entry packs! Being nominated by your lovely customers is a great achievement in itself, and although it might give you a warm fuzzy feeling inside – it doesn’t mean that you are in with a chance of winning the big prize UNLESS YOU SEND US YOUR ENTRY!…
