We are proud to be Taste of the West members and have entered the annual Taste of the West awards - the"Oscars" of the South-West Food industry since we started in December 2006.

In 2010 we entered six products for which we are delighted to have achieved an outstanding five Gold awards and a Silver award. But that's not the end of the story...each Gold award winner then enters a further round of judging competing against all other gold award winners, the results of which were announced Nov 10th... Lick the Spoon were named overall category winner "Best of Chocolate" throughout the seven counties of the South-West for our Rum and Raisin truffles!

In 2007 we were named the "Best of Bakery and Confectionery" throughout the South-West.

In 2008 we were finalist in the Waitrose - Country Living "Made in Britain Awards", the only chocolatier to be named finalist and one of the 18 best artisan food producers in the UK.

In 2008 we were named as Wiltshire Independent Food producer of the year by public nomination.

Reviews

We have been fortunate enough to catch the eye of several celebrities.

In 2009 Lick the Spoon were presented with a "National Treasure" award by Alan Titchmarsh

In 2009 Nigella Lawson named Lick the Spoon's Mint Filigree Easter Egg as her choice on her Nigella Love's website.

“My egg of choice is dark and dense, its richness undercut by a pleasing bitterness and - here's the thing - covered in a gossamer-thin layer of eau-de-nil coloured, mint-flavoured chocolate which itself is decorated with elegant curlicues of dark chocolate, the whole thing sitting on a chocolate plinth.

It is a thing of great beauty, and looks as if it comes out of the boudoir of one of the great French courtesans”.

Of course these awards mean nothing if you aren't delighted with your chocolates, so please let us know what you think.
