A Thixendale family firm has won in the Great Taste Awards 2024.

Often described as the ‘Oscars’ of the food world, the prestigious Great Taste scheme is the world’s largest and most trusted food and drink awards accreditation scheme and attracts over 10,000 entries every year.

Jason Thompson said: “The dressing and mayonnaise are made using a base of our cold-pressed Yorkshire-produced rapeseed oil and have been developed for flavour and versatility.

“We spend a long time researching and perfecting our recipes and we’re proud that the judges like the flavour profiles that we have created.

“Winning these Great Taste stars is a huge achievement and is a testament to the quality British oil that is the base for all our products, and to our great team.”

Judges said the Lemon & Poppy Seed Dressing had a ‘strong aroma of lemons’ with ‘an enjoyable crunch of poppy seeds’, which they ‘loved’.

The Lemon & Dill Mayonnaise was ‘Rich and velvet-like on the palate with perfect citrus acidity’.

The Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil is ‘silky and buttery’ with a ‘rich, nutty and pumpkin seed note’ and ‘a gentle, lingering pepperiness’.
