Shony Flakes, produced by Edinburgh-based Sea-Spice Co has been named as one of the Top 50 Foods within the UK. The list was drawn up as part of the Guild of Fine Food?s annual Great Taste accreditation scheme, which saw 8,807 food and drink products blind-tasted and whittled down over the course of 45 days by 350 experts.

The top 50 food and drink products were chosen from the 123 entries that had gained a coveted 3-star gold and each one has now been nominated for a Golden Fork Award, the highest accolade in fine food and drink which will be announced at the Awards? dinner at London?s Royal Garden Hotel this September.

Judges this year included Masterchef winner and restaurateur Mat Follas, restaurant critic and Masterchef judge Charles Campion, food writers Lucas Hollweg and Xanthe Clay and over 300 food buyers from leading food halls, delicatessens and farm shops, including Harrods, Selfridges and Fortnum & Mason.

Guild of Fine Food chairman Bob Farrand said that each of the food and drink products entered into Great Taste undergoes the most rigorous scrutiny.

?To achieve a 3-star grading involves at least 25 experts unanimously agreeing that the product tastes divine,? he said. ?But to be included in the Top 50 Foods in Britain meant each one had to satisfy the discerning palates of a further 25 dedicated foodies. These products all deliver the most extraordinary taste.?

Xa Milne, Co-Director of The Sea-Spice Co said, ?We are delighted with this award. Great Taste recognises the craft and dedication that goes into producing an artisan product such as this. We are excited to be representing a product which comes from a new food group which offers not just taste benefits but makes you feel good too.?
