This week has been jam-packed with exciting news! We’ve been working hard for the last year building a new brand from scratch; Jackanapes. You may have seen us flashing our chilli products about online through Amazon, Shopify or social media. Well, as a little company with big dreams, we’ve stepped up our game. Jackanapes have only gone and won 3 x Taste of the West Awards for South West England.

The Taste of the West Awards

The Taste of the West Awards are the most prestigious food and drink awards programme in the South West. They’ve been promoting and supporting the industry in the area for over 30 years. Each product submitted goes through a rigorous testing process with a panel of independent industry experts before being judged.

Our products

At Jackanapes, we know our sauces are something special. Working alongside our fantastic chilli supplier, we’ve created some delicious hot sauces and condiments that are the perfect blend of spice and flavour. We have a select range of jams and chilli sauces available at the moment, each varying in spice level. We currently create products using jalapenos, scotch bonnet peppers, ghost peppers and the infamous Carolina reaper. They’re all delicious – we can vouch for that after some in-depth taste testing – but which ones have been the most popular?

No surprises, people just love to try the hottest chillies in the world!

 

We decided to submit three of our most popular products in the Sauces & Accompaniments category in the Taste of the West Awards.

We were thrilled to receive 3 Gold awards for:

 

  • Carolina Reaper Mayonnaise

  • Carolina Reaper Hot Sauce

  • Smokin’ Ghost Hot Sauce

 

As we’ve only been in business for one year, this is an incredible achievement. The team at Jackanapes have worked incredibly hard to get our business to this stage, and all because we had the drive to build a brand that we knew could be a hit. These accolades are an incredible boost for our branding, helping get our name out there and showing the world what Jackanapes can do.

Hey, we’re an award-winning brand now! Pretty cool!
