Bedford-based egg producer, Bird Brothers, has been recognised at the Great Taste awards, with two double-star awards.
The Great Taste awards are the world’s largest and most trusted food and drink accreditation scheme.
The awards were given to Bird Brothers’ White Gold and Roam ranges, both from the brand’s free-range offering. They were noted for their appealing looks and tasted.
The brand, which also sponsors the Bedford Blues rugby team, built on its success at last year’s Great Taste awards, which saw the British Lion-accredited egg producer garner three single star wins.
Judges described the Roam White Gold range as being ‘truly a thing of beauty with a yolk of perfect, rich deep colour and the whitest of whites’.
The judges also noted White Gold eggs had ‘a natural, clean flavour you would want from an egg that comes from a hen that has eaten and lived well.’

The White Gold range, which are premium, free-range eggs with distinctive white shells, were described as having ‘a very appealing buttery aroma’ and ‘wonderfully deep and gold.’
Matthew Bird, commercial director at Bird Brothers, said: “We are immensely proud to be recognised for the second consecutive year.
“This year, we’ve surpassed ourselves with two stars on two of our ranges, and we’re so pleased to be able to say we have back-to-back award-winning eggs.
“The judges’ comments are great to read, showing real appreciation for our hard work and dedication to producing the highest quality eggs.”
Bird Brothers unveiled its brand refresh last year with an updated identity and website focused on the family business’s approach to offering honest good food for all.
