Cassis made to the French creme de cassis recipe with blackcurrants from the Welsh Borders
This is not a traditional Cassis, not as sweet, and Jo feels not as cloying. But it is really blackcurranty with each bottle containing over 95% pure blackcurrant, the rest being British sugar to taste. Jo’s hard work has paid off – her Cassis has won a gold star in the Great Taste Awards 2007; and was short-listed for the Telegraph/Sainsbury’s Taste of Britain Award 2007.
During 2008 she has won 2 Gold Stars at the Great Taste awards, was Highly Commended in the Quality Drinks Awards and was a Finalist in the Made In Britain/Waitrose awards sponsored by Country Living.
Jo says, “To have achieved all these accolades is really helping our sales, and to be a recognised brand known for our quality and flavour is a great honour. Only 220 out of 4800 products achieved 2 stars in these most recent Great Taste Awards, so I think that makes us pretty special".
“We have also recently launched a new 100ml bottle, which is a miniature version of the classic British Cassis bottle but is the perfect size for a present. Or for anyone ahead of the game – a perfect size for a stocking filler!”
Other products include British Cassis with Gin; and most recently our Jo Hilditch British Framboise which is available in both 375ml and 100ml.
