Surge in success rate at highest level for food producers in Ireland
Judges for the Great Taste Awards 2023 included more than 500 food writers, chefs, restaurateurs and industry experts. Photographs: Sam PellyIn a bumper year for Irish food producers, 27 three-star Great Taste Awards, the highest accolade in the competition, have been won by entrants from the Republic and Northern Ireland, up from 16 last year.
More than 14,000 food and drink products from 109 countries were assessed by 500 industry experts over the course of 89 judging days in London and Dorset, and only 1.8 per cent of them were awarded three stars. Awards were also made at two-star and one-star level and Ireland claimed a total of 674 awards, 526 by companies in the Republic and 148 from Northern Ireland. Although administered in the UK, by the Guild of Fine Food, products made anywhere in the world can be entered for these awards, which the organisers say are the largest global accreditation scheme for food and drink. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the awards.
