Coppola wins at Great Taste 2013

Coppola Foods took home Gold Star awards for products, the Coppola Torchietti pasta, and Coppola legumes, Borlotti and Bianchi di Spagna, at the Great Taste 2013. The competition is one of the most  rigourous food awards schemes where over 400 judges and thousands of hours of blind tasting are involved.  Products are measured only on taste, and excludes branding or packaging. In total, more than 12 judges will have tasted and commented on each product. 

The company from Salerno, in the South of Italy, received a Gold Star for the Coppola Torchietti, which was also highly rated for its “fantastically dramatic appearance and an unusual, firm texture that would retain sauce well”. Judges have also highlighted the product’s “robust wholesome lingering wheat flavour that finishes on the palate gradually.”

Judges evaluated the Coppola legumes, Borlotti and Bianchi di Spagna, to be “very creamy” and with a very good texture. Judges were “pleased to get such a lot of flavour” from Borlotti, highlighting its “lovely earthy aroma and a nice nutty flavour”. Whilst pointing out that Coppola Bianchi di Spagna is holding its “shape very well” and has “a very good flavour for an unsalted bean” as well as “an attractive wholesome appearance”. Each product received a Gold Star.

Ernesto Coppola, managing director of Coppola Foods, has commented on the results of the awards:
