‘Plant based Italian food should be judged alongside the traditional products that inspired it’
Because Great Taste’s judges assess each product based exclusively on the taste, texture, and appearance, not brand marketing, the award-winning plant-based options are tested alongside traditional meat and dairy products.
Vegan cheese maker Casedei Foods said, “We have always believed that plant based Italian food should be judged alongside the traditional products that inspired it, without compromise or qualification. These awards are another important step towards proving that it can be every bit as delicious.”

‘The best oat milk we’ve ever had’
Brose’s Scottish oat milk and Wild & Furrow’s Fresh Oat Drink each received the maximum three stars at this year’s awards.
Writing on Instagram, Wild & Furrow said, “From growing the oats in our own fields to making and bottling every pint here on our family farm in Leicestershire, everything we do is driven by one goal: producing the very best oat milk we possibly can.”
According to the brand, the Great Taste Awards judges described the Fresh Oat Drink as, “The best oat milk we have ever tried,” and “simply sensational.”
In particular, the judges praised the milk’s “intensely smooth, luxurious mouthfeel” and called it “a confident and standout expression within the category.”
