Cranstons brings home two Gold awards from Great British Food Awards
We’re delighted to be celebrating two Gold awards at this year’s Great British Food Awards, following a brilliant day in London celebrating some of the very best food and drink producers from across the country.
Our Product Developer, Hagen, and Business Development Director, Jane Silburn, headed down to the capital for the awards ceremony, returning home with Gold for two products we’re incredibly proud of: our Rib of Beef and our traditional Cumberland Sausage.
Both products are long-standing favourites in our range and reflect what we’ve always believed in: great-quality ingredients, traditional skills and taking the time to get things right.
Our Rib of Beef is sourced from six trusted local farms, with whom we’ve built strong relationships over many years. We carefully select our beef and dry-age it for a minimum of 21 days to develop its flavour and tenderness. Our traditional Cumberland Sausage, meanwhile, is made to a recipe that’s more than 100 years old, using 83% meat and proudly carrying on a much-loved Cumbrian food tradition.
Hagen, our Product Developer, said:
“It’s a fantastic feeling to have two of our products recognised with Gold awards. They’re both products that we’re really proud of, and there’s a lot of care and attention that goes into making them.
“With our beef, it all starts with the quality of the cattle and the relationships we have with our six trusted farms. We know where our beef comes from, and we take great care in how we prepare and mature it. Our Cumberland Sausage has a real history behind it, too, so to see both recognised at a national level is a brilliant achievement for everyone involved.”
We’d also like to congratulate all the other producers recognised at the awards, with a special mention to fellow Cumbrian producers at Lovingly Artisan, who took home the Regional Award for the whole of the North of England. A thoroughly deserved achievement!
We’ve been producing quality meat and food in Cumbria since 1914, and recognition like this makes us incredibly proud of the people, skills and traditions behind what we do.
A huge well done to everyone involved!
