The Guild of Fine Food - Great Taste Awards
The Great Taste Awards are judged by a panel of food experts, with all products being judged purely on taste. It is done on the basis of a blind tasting, with none of the manufacturers’ identities being revealed to the judges.
In addition, Shortbread House's Original Recipe shortbread was Reserve Champion in the awards for Best Scottish Product at the Great Taste Awards ceremony in London in September 2005.
