Waddling Free duck eggs from Blackacre Farm has beaten off competition from 10,000 other food and drink entries to achieve the Guild of Fine Foods’ coveted Great Taste 3-star award.
Great Taste judges considered Waddling Free to be “perfection in a duck egg”, with other comments including “proud standing and succulent” and “a beautiful firm egg with a burst of sunshine in the yolk, great flavour.” Only 130 products were awarded three stars in 2015.
Waddling Free duck eggs are part of Blackacre Farm’s new Free collection, producing “exceptional quality premium eggs from the happiest birds”. The collection’s Rambling Free hens’ eggs received a 1-star award, the only fresh eggs to be given Great Taste stars this year.
Great Taste, organised by the Guild of Fine Food, recognises flavour above all else. Each year, 10,000 products are blind-tasted by a team of over 400 professional judges and in 2015 a total of 3,109 products were awarded 1-, 2- or 3-star awards. Only the most exquisite foods and drink are given Great Taste 3-star status, recognised in the world of fine food as a benchmark of taste, quality and excellence.
