Press Release
Mantinga's Bake-off Products win Two 2 Gold Stars

Published: 09/08/2008 @ 10:01:04

Mantinga, the specialist bread company has won two 2 gold stars at the 2008 Great Taste Awards from the Guild of Fine Foods. A total of 220 products were awarded 2 stars and this is the first time that two breads in the bake-off category have won such a prestigious star rating.

Steven Mackintosh, founder of Mantinga commented on hearing the news, I am delighted that we have won two 2 gold stars and it proves that our products are unequalled by any other bake-off company in the UK. Our philosophy of on-going bakery innovation and sourcing quality, artisan products means that Mantinga leads the way in the market place.

The winning products are the Fougasse and Ciabatta with feta and olives. The Ciabatta with feta and olives, new to the Mantinga range, is a delicious soft crumbed bread filled with feta and juicy black olives and topped with rock salt and herbs. The ciabatta is perfect as a tear and share bread or to accompany a classic plate of Italian antipasti. The Fougasse is from Mantinga's gourmet range and is a French flatbread peppered with smoked ham and walnuts throughout the dough. Popular as a tear and share bread it is also perfect for dipping in a traditional cheese fondue.
