FOUR CIRIO PRODUCTS AWARDED A GREAT TASTE AWARD!
We’re incredibly proud to announce that four Cirio products have each been awarded a 1-Star Great Taste Award by the Guild of Fine Food.
Judged through independent blind tasting, our products impressed the Great Taste judges for their quality, flavour, texture and balance.

The award-winning products are
Cirio Polpa Finissima
Finely Chopped Italian Tomatoes

“A well produced, bright tomato sauce with a very good balance of acidity. Not too sharp, indeed very well balanced. You feel the freshness in the preparation of these chopped tomatoes. Versatile and authentic, they would be a welcome store cupboard contribution to many a meal.”
Cirio Pelati
Peeled Plum Italian Tomatoes

“The aroma is fruity and the palate sweet, the taste indeed full-bodied for a tinned tomato. We can well imagine they have been carefully cultivated and picked at peak ripeness. Beautifully versatile, we would be very happy to keep these in our store cupboard and use in a variety of ways.”
Cirio Passata
Sieved Italian Tomatoes

“A deep dark red passata with a lovely thick looking texture. The aroma is earthy and sweet and both these aspects shine through in the flavour. The mouth feel is smooth and velvety. The tomato flavour is intense and tomatoey and there is a great acidity.”
Cirio Genova Pasta Sauce with Basil

“A glossy thick sauce with rich attractive colour and an enticing tomato and herb aroma, this has a well-judged texture so would coat pasta well, releasing the natural acidity of the tomatoes, with the herbs making for a balanced flavour profile.”
Quality from field to table
This recognition is a testament to the dedication of our farmer-owned cooperative, who work tirelessly throughout the growing and harvesting process to ensure the quality and freshness of every Cirio product.
From tomatoes carefully cultivated under the Italian sun to harvesting them at peak ripeness, every step is focused on preserving the natural flavour, freshness and quality of our tomatoes.
We believe great food starts with great ingredients, and we’re delighted that this commitment has been recognised by the Guild of Fine Food.
A huge grazie to our farmers, our teams and the Guild of Fine Food for this fantastic recognition.
