Rosemary Shrager awards Cracking Nuts 1st Place at the British Street Food Awards
Award-Winning Flavour: 1st Place at the British Street Food Awards
We’re proud to look back on one of our proudest moments — being awarded 1st place by none other than Rosemary Shrager at the British Street Food Awards in 2016.
As a renowned chef, author, and TV personality, Rosemary Shrager knows great food when she tastes it — and we were thrilled when she crowned us the winner. Her verdict?
“I think these nuts, which are genius on the most delicious ice cream.”
That moment meant a lot to us — it was a kind recognition of the effort we put into making something a bit different. Whether it’s our roasted nuts or the ways we try to pair them with other treats like ice cream, we’ve always enjoyed experimenting with flavour.
Winning in 2016 gave us a real boost — and it’s something we still look back on with pride.
2017 Great Taste 2 Star Winners
A Great Taste Award for Our Cinnamon & Vanilla Cashews
We were absolutely delighted when our Cinnamon & Vanilla Cashews received a Great Taste 2-Star Award in 2017 — a real honour from one of the most respected food awards in the UK.
The Great Taste Awards are known for being tough to impress, with thousands of products blind-tasted by panels of food experts. Earning any star is something to be proud of — but a 2-Star Award means your product is “above and beyond delicious”. Fewer than 10% of entries receive two stars, so we were genuinely thrilled.
The judges had some lovely things to say about our cashews. Here’s what they thought:
Table 1:
“Initial appearance: evenly coated and appealing. The vanilla registers first followed by lingering cinnamon towards the end. The sweetness from the vanilla is well balanced and not sickly.”
Table 2:
“Crunchy little cashews, well coated in a crust which cracks nicely in the bite. The cinnamon comes through towards the end – the vanilla is a good warming back note. The nuts are creamy and yet crisp.”
These comments really captured what we were aiming for — a warming, gently spiced snack that’s satisfying without being overly sweet. We’re proud of the balance and texture in this flavour, and to have that recognised by the judges was a real boost for our small team.
Moments like this encourage us to keep experimenting and refining what we do, always with the same goal in mind: making simple snacks taste really, really good.
