The Cold-pressed Rapeseed Oil blended with Lemon was awarded Gold, with judges commenting ‘it has a lovely lemon flavour but not too strong, spot on, give me more delicious, zesty lemon!’

Meanwhile group businesses Kent Crisps and A Little Bit Food were also winners, with Kent Crisp’s Lamb and Rosemary flavour awarded Gold in the ‘Kent Confectionary & Snack Product of The Year’ category, and A Little Bit Food awarded ‘Kent Free-From Business of the Year’.
