The winners of the 2010 Soil Association Organic Food Awards have been announced.

The Awards, now in their 22nd year, were given given out by the food campaigner and broadcaster Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and organic restaurant pioneer Geetie Singhduring the Organic Food Festival (September 11-12, Bristol Waterfront)

58 expert judges — including chefs, restaurateurs, food writers and nutritionists – gave their verdict on 600 different products in 12 categories at a four-day tasting marathon hosted at the Duke of Cambridge organic pub in London.

In all categories judging was by blind tasting with products rated on taste, smell, texture and appearance.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall said:
”It is a pleasure to be handing out the Organic Food Awards this year to such devoted and deserving producers.

Geetie Singh, judge and owner of the Duke of Cambridge remarked:
”The Organic Food Awards are a celebration of great organic food that is produced sustainably and to the highest welfare and environmental standards, food that has top quality provenance and an interesting story to tell.”
