Mayo-based Aldi supplier takes a top accolade at Great Taste Awards

ONE of Aldi’s Mayo-based suppliers has been recognised at the prestigious international 2020 Great Taste Awards.

CPAC Foods of Foxford won one Gold Star for Aldi’s Specially Selected Extra Buttery Toffee Popcorn and One Gold Star for Aldi’s Specially Selected Sweet and Salty Popcorn.

Overall, Aldi Ireland won 52 titles, including the highest possible three gold stars award for its Specially Selected West of Ireland Lamb Guard of Honour with Rosemary and Garlic Salt Rub, Specially Selected Free Range Irish Whole Goose, winning the title for its second year, and Specially Selected Giant Sicilian Nocellara Olives. All three qualify for the prestigious Golden Fork Awards which will be announced later this year.

Commenting, Cathal Fleming, retail sales manager at Dawn Meats, said: “Dawn Meats are proud of the successes achieved at this year’s Great Taste Awards and honoured to have received three stars for Aldi's Specially Selected West of Ireland Lamb Guard of Honour with Rosemary and Garlic Salt Rub.

“Our west of Ireland lamb is sourced directly from family farms where they are traditionally reared and free to roam. The extensive and varied landscape provides a grazing ground abundant in natural grasses, herbs, wild flowers and heather which gives our west of Ireland lamb its unique and delicate flavour.”
