Somerset-based delicatessen meat specialist, Bringing Home the Bacon, has won another four awards this week for its top quality bacon and sausages. These latest additions to the trophy cabinet see free range pig farmer Anna Mogford add two more Gold and two Silver Taste of the West awards to her ever increasing list of honours.

Anna is thrilled about her most recent awards and says it is an important endorsement for her products. “It’s fantastic news! Winning in the Taste of the West Awards is a great measure of quality and it’s a wonderful feeling to know that my pigs and my products are appreciated so much. I have enormous pride in what I do and I always strive for perfection, so it’s very rewarding to get such positive feedback from this prestigious organisation.”

The Bringing Home the Bacon Dry Cured Unsmoked Back Bacon and Dry Cured Traditional Oak Smoked Back Bacon both won Gold awards, whilst the Traditional Old English Breakfast Sausages and Sage & Caramelized Red Onion Sausages both won Silver medals.

This latest news comes hot on the trotters of Bringing Home the Bacon’s recent One Gold Star award for its Unsmoked Back Bacon at this year’s Great Taste Awards, organised by The Guild of Fine Food. Bringing Home the Bacon has also won a number of other awards in recent years, including 2009 Taste of the West Silver Award for its Natural Oak Smoked Back Bacon and Streaky Bacon, and 2009 Taste of the West Bronze Award for its Unsmoked Dry Cured Back Bacon and Streaky Bacon.
