The Great Taste Awards are now in their 18th year and are going from strength to strength. A total of 7,481 products were entered from 1600 different companies for the 2011 Great Taste Awards. It took a total of 350 experts and 34 days to blind taste test all of the entries and decide which entries would achieve the coveted gold awards.

Chairman for The Great Taste Awards, Bob Farrand, says; ‘Winning Gold in the country’s largest and most respected independent food accreditation scheme is a massive pat on the back for any producer - independent proof their products are of the highest quality.

‘We provide constructive feedback from our expert judging teams and for many, winning gold is exactly what’s needed to help grow their business. Every winner should feel very proud that their hard work has been rewarded.’

Wild Appetite products are distributed and sold throughout Australia in many specialty food stores, Delicatessens, gift stores and David Jones Food Halls.
