Champion: Vadasz Smacked Cucumbers
This fusion of hot chilli, garlic and, of course, cucumbers is inspired by the traditional Chinese ‘smacked cucumber’ dish, but reimagined by chilli and pickle wizards Vadasz to reflect modern health cues. The cucumbers, for example, are cold-brined to preserve freshness, the product doesn’t contain the high sugar levels often found in traditional pickles, and the naturally plant-based condiment is also packed full of benefits for gut health.
Our judges loved this “delightful, well-balanced product with a gentle chilli kick” and the fact it could be applied to myriad use cases in the kitchen, making it also “excellent value for money”.
