The Black Farmer Attracts New Accolades For “Sausages of Distinction”

In a month when The Black Farmer Premium Pork gluten free sausages have been voted joint first place winners in the Good Housekeeping November issue blind Taste Test, the company's new Pulled Pork gluten free sausages were shortlisted in the Specialist Category in the 2015 British Sausage Week 'Sausages of Distinction' in November.

“It is a real testament to the quality and flavour of The Black Farmer sausages that they should be recognised in this way by two independent panels,” comments Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones, aka The Black Farmer.

The Black Farmer gluten free sausages are the UK's number one super premium sausage brand (Kantar WPO 52 w/e | 13 September 15). Using only RSPCA Approved British Pork, the Premium Pork sausages boast a 90% meat content.

“The Black Farmer Pulled Pork sausages are new to the market this year. The flavour was chosen by our fans in a poll to be our next new flavour, so to have them shortlisted from over 700 entries is a resounding endorsement of that choice.”

The Black Farmer sausages are available in supermarkets across the UK. The company's full range is available online from Ocado.
