A total of 15 products created in the Isle of Man have been honoured at the world’s largest food and drink awards.

The Guild of Fine Food has handed out its coveted seal of approval for produce across the British Isles as part of its the Great Taste Awards which is says are the world’s largest and most trusted food and drink awards.

Each year, producers put forward thousands of products in the hope of winning the coveted Great Taste Awards seal of approval.

The big winners in the Isle of Man are Angelica Belle who is inspired by Sicily and Sardinia to create her own citrus and amaretti cookies at her fishing cottage.

Her vegan and gluten-free almond and orange amaretti and almond and lemon cookies each received two stars while her normal versions of the same cookies received one star each.

Lush Bakes, which produces South African-inspired goodies also received one star each for four products with Elna’s Safari Rusks, Elna’s Buttermilk Rusks, Choc Inferno Fudge and Glashtyn Salted Rum & Raison Fudge all being recognised.

Ballacosnahan Farm in Patrick, which rears only rare breed Manx Loaghtan sheep, built on last year’s success with an incredible three stars for its Manx Loaghtan Chorizo, two stars for its Manx Loaghtan Salami and one star for its Manx Loaghtan Saucission.

Entries are judged by more than 400 food and drink experts annually.

According to organisers, all food and drink products entered into the Great Taste Awards must go through a rigorous judging process with entries passing through teams of judges.

Products deemed to be of a high enough standard by judges will be given a one, two or three-star rating - three being the highest possible rating and one only given to ‘extraordinarily tasty’.

As well as bragging rights, businesses that do receive a Great Taste Award rating are afforded the honour of proudly displaying their star or stars on the packaging of their products and in marketing materials.

In total, seven Isle of Man food and drink producers walked away with a globally recognised star rating for 15 products with 22 stars shared among them.
