UK National Chilli Awards 2015 Results

Thursday, September 24th, 2015

ffukLast weekend 19/20 September saw the return of the Fiery Foods UK show in Brighton after a years break and change of ownership, it also saw the return of the National Chilli Awards.

We like to enter competitions, as it is more rewarding than paying for advertising should you gain a place, and fortunately this year we did, well as you can see below.

There were 14 categories, 10 of which we entered, and we placed in 9 of them. 2 further categories, Best grower and Best retailer were voted by all entrants to the competition and the 6 judges.

“A total of 19 producers and over 50 products were entered this year” said Karl Muzio (Fiery Foods UK’s new owner).

The products which won I will update as I find out from the relevant companies.

BEST JAM – THE CHILLEES and runner up was EVERYTHING CHILLI

BEST PICKLE/MUSTARD – RIVER PLATE LIMITED and runner up was MR VIKKIS

BEST DRINK/SYRUP/CORDIAL – GRIM REAPER (Pestilence) and runner up was FALLEN ANGEL

The vote for BEST GROWER went to EDIBLE ORNAMENTALS who go the majority of our chillies actually, so that great to hear! (I voted them anyway..)
