Nikki Owen, Head of Marketing at St Ewe Free Range Eggs, said: "It’s no secret that keeping our hens happy and healthy makes for highly nutritious eggs, which is a key value that sits right at the heart of St Ewe, so we couldn’t be more thrilled to have the quality and nutrition of our Rich Yolk eggs recognised with this award.

"It means a lot to the whole team; our feed producer Humphrey Feeds and Pullets, our hard working producer farms and of course, the hens!

"To be awarded a Great Taste Gold Star is a real accolade, and it’s truly wonderful to have recognition from the world's largest and most trusted food and drink awards."
