A local food producer has bagged four Great Taste Awards after receiving glowing praise for their ‘bold and innovative’ popcorn flavour combinations.
Ballasalla-based, PopCornaa led the Manx charge at this year’s awards, which saw 10 Isle of Man food and drink producers walk away with a globally recognised star rating.
Owner Emily Tse said: :Entering the market with a bold new take on a humble snack was a huge risk, but I believed deep down that the market was ripe for contemporary inspiration, evolving the traditional, commercially produced popped corn snack into something that’s magical with every bite.
“This award is inspirational and ignites my passion to continue pushing hard for what I believe in.
” am absolutely thrilled to receive a three star rating for what the judges called an innovative and thoroughly enjoyable flavour combination.”
The gourmet popcorn maker was one of two local businesses to receive a coveted three star rating for its vegan seaweed, wasabi and soy flavoured treats, alongside Ballacosnahan Farm’s Manx Loaghtan chorizo.
