The Traditional Beef Company wins a 2011 Great Taste Award - best beef online, sirloin steaks awarded gold star

 The Traditional Beef Company from Farley, Wiltshire is celebrating after winning a prestigious 2011 Great Taste Award.  The Traditional Beef Company has been presented with a coveted Gold Star Great Taste Award for its Sirloin Steak

 The Traditional Beef Company was set up in 2009 by farmer’s daughter Jo and her husband Robin. The company sells high quality beef direct from the family farm in Farley, Wiltshire. They only use traditional beef breeds that are fed on grass and allowed to mature naturally. The animals are taken to a local abattoir and all the beef is dry aged for a minimum of 4 weeks. 

Robin Pitkin, Founder of the Traditional Beef Company, said: “We are delighted with this Great Taste Award. We started the business to produce the highest quality beef and it is great that we have been selected by a group of industry experts in a blind tasting to receive this award”.  

The Great Taste Awards, organised by the Guild of Fine Food, are now in their 18^th year and going from strength to strength.  7481 products were entered from 1600 companies for the 2011 Great Taste Awards. It took 350 experts 34 days to blind taste all the entries and decide.

 Bob Farrand, Chairman for The Great Taste Awards, said: “Winning Gold in the country’s largest and most respected independent food accreditation scheme is a massive pat on the back for any producer - independent proof their products are of the highest quality.”
