Three Great Taste Awards We’ve been putting a lot of work into our brand this year and we are so delighted to announce that we have won three new Great Taste Awards. This brings our Award tally since our launch to a total of 18 Awards, which is pretty amazing. You don’t have to just take our word for it when we say our products taste fab, as the judges comments highlight – healthy doesn’t mean boring.
