“Unctuous and moreish, squidgy and moist”, show stopping classic wows Great Taste judges

Golden Fork from Ireland announced

Celebrating the very best in food and drink, Great Taste, the world’s most coveted blind-tasted food awards, has reached its grand finale for 2016. The Great Taste Golden Fork for the best food or drink in Ireland was presented to Dunnes Stores of Dublin for its Simply Better Irish Handmade All Butter Sticky Toffee Pudding. Commenting on the superb execution of this product, the judges admired the texture and flavour of the dates, which really come through. This classic pudding was described as a “dollop of cream or custard away from a heavenly experience.”

Out of 10,000 products entered into Great Taste 2016, the Simply Better Irish Handmade All Butter Sticky Toffee Pudding was celebrated as the best tasting product in its region at the Great Taste Golden Forks Dinner held on Monday 5 September at the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, where over 300 guests from the world of fine food gathered to hear the results of many months of rigorous judging.
