Copperpot fudge wins gold at Taste of the West Awards

September 12, 2023
We’re proud to share the news that our delicious Cornish Copperpot fudge range has once again picked up a series of awards in the prestigious 2022 Taste of the West awards.

Each hand-broken Copperpot fudge cube is expertly crafted, bringing a classic crumbly texture, combined with a sensationally sweet, award winning taste.

BRINGING HOME THE GOLD MEDALS

As part of the confectionery class this year, the judges awarded Gold to six of our Cornish fudge flavours as a badge of ultimate approval:

  • Copperpot All Butter fudge
  • Copperpot Cappuccino fudge
  • Copperpot Caramel & Sea Salt fudge
  • Copperpot Festive Spiced fudge
  • Copperpot Maple Syrup fudge
  • Copperpot Valencian Orange fudge

Copperpot Clotted Cream fudge was also recognised, bringing home a none-too-shabby silver award.

Alex Baird, Key Account Manager at OV Tenbury Wells: “The Taste of the West awards recognise the very best products in the famously foodie South West region of the UK. We’re extremely proud to once again be recognised at the very highest level against very tough competition.”

The highest-scoring Gold products will now go through to a further round of judging to determine the champion product of each class. A shortlist of contenders will be announced over the summer, and the overall champion winners of each category will be announced at an awards ceremony on 13 September. Watch this space for updates!

Get to Know OV: What Quality Means Across Our Group

Great ingredients start with great ideas. But behind every product we make is something even more fundamental: the commitment to make it safely, consistently and to the standards our customers expect. Across OV, quality and food safety are cornerstones of how we work. They go hand in hand, but they are not interchangeable. Quality is about consistently delivering products and services that meet agreed standards and customer expectations. Those requirements can vary depending on the product, application and customer. Food safety is different. It is never negotiable.
