Baba's Rashi and Dibis

And the Judges added this:
- An interesting combination of sweet and savoury flavours.
- This is very different and we find the combination of flavours appealing. There is a very tasty malty note which we particularly enjoyed.
- "This spread takes you on an exciting journey of flavours and textures, nutty, sweet, creamy and toasty. Very well done!"
- "Sticky, sweet and savoury, Baba's breakfast sows seeds for Great Taste Success!"
Zaatar & Pine Nut Sauce with Crispy Onions
Another repeat award winning product and this year made it 3 awards in three years. That is a great achievement for the sauce which followed the original GTA awarded Zaatar & Pine Nuts Sauce.
And the Judges added this:
- A very full-flavoured paste shows off its pine nuts, sesame seeds and has a good aroma.
- The great thing about this product is the texture - the nuts have retained their crunch despite being steeped in oil. Would make a lovely pesto alternative in pasta and other dishes.
- The onions are sweet and crisp, some softness to the texture, and a heady mix of spices, seeds and nuts and just about anything else your imagination can conjure up.
- A highly complex mix of wholesome nuts, seeds and onions. All the ingredients retained their freshness, crispness and produced a wonderful explosion. Intriguing texture.
Sumac Citrus Berries with Dead Sea Salt from the Jordan Valley
A brand-new product that infuses the Sumac in its natural form berry form with a truly amazing salt from the Jordanian Dead Sea Valley. It adds a zesty touch that heightens the flavours of any dish. Ideal for everyday use from seasoning, pickling, marinating to preserving.
And the Judges added this:
- A piquant variation on sea salt with a citrusy kick and a lively flavour profile. A good idea and a sound product to use both at the table and for pickling and preserves. A welcome new product.
- This is a really interesting idea and the blend of sumac and sea salt is well judged - the citric sumac flavour is bright and zesty and the salt isn't too overpowering, both of which work together perfectly.
