Just over a week to go until Food Manufacture Excellence Awards! Delighted to be nominated in such competitive categories:
B3 CEO, Marc Burbidge, is in the running for Business Leader of the Year, alongside the B3 nomination for the Food Integrity Award.
Great excuse to dust off the tuxes.
We're delighted to have been nominated in Food Manufacture Excellence Awards for two categories!
B3 CEO ,Marc Burbidge, has been shortlisted for 'Business Leader of the Year Award', going through an extensive judging process including a written submission followed by a presentation to a panel of independent judges from the industry.
The second category we've been shortlisted for is in the 'Food Integrity Award' - we're particularly pleased with this one, as since the beginning we've worked tirelessly on the fundamentals of running a food business.
Considering the calibre of the competition and the other nominees, we're so pleased to be recognised for our hard work.
A huge congrats to our team who have made this possible, and well done to the other finalists.
Look forward to the awards next year 🎉

So, this week was a big week for many reasons.
We have built a business up over the last 32 years with a simple purpose 'to inspire and serve chefs in every kitchen'. Our role is to help forage and find the very best products from across the Mediterranean and Middle-East'. It's a role we take seriously.
For us we don't set out to be an award-winning business but it's humbling when we do win awards. It's because, it's not just us saying we source, make and sell great products.
It's independent verification.
Anyone who deals with us knows we are a super passionate team who love food and sharing that passion with others. When this product first was tasted in our 'Pembury innovation kitchen' a while back, we knew we had a winner. Everyone in the kitchen, everyone in the office, everyone in the car park was talking about how good it was. Have you tasted the sour cherry molasses? It's unbelievable(!!) was most people's reaction and it has just continued to 'dance' around peoples mouths and on alot of our dishes ever since.
We recently were informed by the lovely people at the Guild of Fine Food
that we had won 3 great taste stars (the highest score), which in itself is an exceptional achievement. As a consequence, that meant we had a chance of winning the 'Golden fork'. Which in simple terms is like winning best actor/actress at the Oscars, a lifetime goal. The best of the best three star products.
On Monday night this week, that became a reality! In the pic below is Bob (our product guru) and Alice (our PR manager) from our team with the prize, in front of some canape's we prepared (I think) - Medjool dates, filled with sour cherry molasses and mascarpone dipped in chocolate. If that's a little too adventurous (for me being a simple boy from Northern Ireland) then drizzled over Vanilla ice-cream works equally well (I was always taught less is more).
If you haven't tried it the message is simple, you must.
We are already on with continuing our search to bring you many more wonderful products. Thanks for all you support and to the epic team Belazu | B Corp™ - delighted to be part of it 🙏
What a night! 🤩
Our Sour Cherry Molasses has only gone and won a GOLDEN FORK!
To put this into perspective, the Golden Fork Awards exclusively nominates products that have earned 3 Great Taste Stars – making this a monumental achievement for our team. Truly the best of the best.
Here's to another fantastic year ahead, with special thanks to everyone who has tasted and shared our Sour Cherry Molasses and the Guild of Fine Food for organising this incredible event.
