Three Great Taste Awards for Saxby's Cider

They say good news often comes in threes, and that's definitely true for local cidermakers, Saxby's Cider. Based at the family farm in Farndish near Wellingborough, Chief Cidermaker and owner Philip Saxby and his team are currently celebrating a trio of Great Taste Awards - often described as the 'Oscars' for fine food and drink.

Saxby's Rhubarb Cider

Saxby's Plum Cider

Saxby's Limited edition Cider

To make the 2017 Awards, Great Taste Judges, who are experts from the world of food and drink, blind tasted 12,500 products over 62 days. The national winners are people who genuinely care about the quality and taste of the food and drink they create. And that's certainly the case with Saxby’s Cider.

"Saxby's Cider is pressed each Autumn right here on our farm. We have our own orchards, there's no rushing - just carefully selected English apples, slowly matured and expertly blended.

Our Rhubarb cider was described as 'nicely balanced' and our Limited Edition cider as 'full flavoured'. The Judges particularly liked our Plum Cider which was awarded a 2-star award. The Judges said it was 'crisp, refreshing and very drinkable'. We couldn't have put it better ourselves.

All our cider is made with love. We like to think you can taste the difference, and we're extremely proud to have not one but three of these prestigious Great Taste Awards."
