It’s official, we have great taste. We’re very pleased that our H&B Dark Apple Cider Vinegar been awarded with a Great Taste Award from the Guild of Fine Food 🏆 Tested by a judging panel who deemed it ‘simply delicious’. They commented that it is “deeply flavoured and complex”, noting it had “plenty of sharp appley tones, and a long, fruity, sweet finish” and a “sweetness on the palate that balances the acetic elements well and the taste is almost branded – like a meld of early-stage apple brandy blended with young apple balsamic”. We quite like it too. Congratulations to our brilliant team for collecting this prestigious award April Preston Catherine Rose-Bloom
