Press Release Body: Wiltshire Chocolatier Lick the Spoon was delighted to be named
as one of the eighteen finalists for the Waitrose and Country Living magazine Made
In Britain Awards announced this week. The awards seek to reward those companies
that \"really stand out from the rest - producing the finest British fare, using
traditional skills, innovative production and an emphasis on true quality\".
Five Made In Britain food producers of the year will be chosen from the finalists at
a ceremony to be held in London in September. Each will win £5000 to develop their
business, and a guarantee from Witrose to stock their product, which will also be
displayed at the Country Living Christmas Fair 2008. The overall Made In Britain
Food Champion of the Year will be chosen from these winners and will receive an
additional £5000.
Chocolatier Diana Short is delighted to be announced as a finalist and attributes
the success to the "combination of quality ingredients, original recipes and a the
wonderful produce of Wiltshire and the West country". Two of Lick the Spoon\'s
chocolate selections were viewed by the judges, the One for Me One for You selection
which was last year\'s Taste of The West category winner, and their new Wonders of
the West fresh chocolate collection. Diana described the Wonders of the West
collection as \"encapsulating everything we are passionate about, fresh chocolates
without compromise, with ingredients and recipes inspired by Wiltshire and the West
country\".
The small family business has only been going for 18 months but demand has been so
high that they now plan to open a small artisan production unit in the Chippenham
area later this year. \"We have a real head of steam behind us now\" explained Diana,
\"...we\'ve just introduced international shipping following a number of international
enquiries and appointed a U.S. agent earlier this month to allow us to export to the
U.S.\".
Their chocolates can be bought from their website or from select retail outlets,
amongst them, The Allington Farm shop who supply them with the cream and local honey
for their creations.
"We\'re keeping our fingers crossed for the September awards " says Diana.!
