We are very proud to announce that our very own Napoletano sauce has been chosen as
the winner of the coveted Gold Star for 2020!
This is a significant milestone for a what has always been a labour of love as well as the foundations of our business.
Just to set the context, almost 13,000 specialty food and drink products were entered into this year’s awards which are widely regarded as the Oscar’s of the food industry, it’s very much about the best food and drink from across a wide range (meats, cheeses, juices, charcuterie, jam etc etc), not just coffee.
This is what the judges had to say:
“Vibrant sauce almost a luminous orange. Aroma of warm tomatoes. This product has a good balance of the sweet and sharp with the touch of sugar perfectly tempering the natural acid in the tomatoes. Well seasoned and with a whisper of garlic, this tastes properly homemade. Perfect on pizzas or on pasta - we wouldn't want to add much else so as to enjoy this flavour unadulterated. Smooth but with just enough texture to be sure this contains whole tomatoes. Clean, fresh flavour.”
“This sauce is so bright orange in colour, it's like theres a light on inside the jar. It smells of ripe tomatoes. The flecks of basil and garlic in the sauce make it feel homemade and the flavour packs a ripe Italian punch. The tomatoes are vibrant with balanced salinity and sweetness, and all the other ingredients complement each other. We'd love this on pasta or on a pizza base, with little else so it can shine. It's easy to make sauces as simple as this taste bland, but this is very different. It has a clarity of flavour and has been made by people who understand how to make good tomato sauce.”
