Tesco & Besana win the Quality Food Awards 2013
A Christmas product containing dried fruits and nuts including hand-cracked Chilean walnuts and Italian Giffoni hazelnuts. For a seasonal flavour, raisins and cranberries are spiced with cinnamon, orange and clove oils with orange zest and ginger pieces added.
This seasonal product scored well with the judges who were impressed by the range of flavour experiences it offered to enhance Christmas enjoyment. "A delightful and different addition to the Christmas store cupboard," was one view while another taster admired the "lovely balance of spice flavours which makes it extremely moreish". Another panel member called it a delicious combination of nuts and fruits, while a fellow judge loved the "packaging which gives a great view of the colourful contents".
