This year, the Plant-Based Taste Awards 2025 confirm that the industry has achieved a new level of success in flavour development. FoodBev Media is delighted to announce the winners, who have earned the ultimate recognition for their delicious, high-quality products.
These awards are unique because they are judged exclusively on taste. They are a vital tool for consumers, providing a reliable guide to the best-tasting options on the market. The winning companies have successfully cracked the code on complex flavour profiles and textures, proving that plant-based options no longer require a compromise in enjoyment.
What makes this year's results particularly compelling is the dual evaluation process. For the first time, products were assessed by both our panel of expert judges and a broad base of consumers. This dual-validation system ensures that a winning product not only meets the high technical standards of food professionals but also achieves proven, broad appeal with the everyday shopper. The products celebrated here are truly those that excite palates and drive consumer loyalty.
Elmhurst 1925's Unsweetened Vanilla Pistachio Milk has been recognised in the Plant-Based Taste Awards for its unique and sophisticated flavour profile, which redefines the standard for milk alternatives. Crafted with just four simple, high-quality ingredients, this product blends the comforting warmth of Tahitian vanilla with the distinct, savoury earthiness of pistachio. This product offers a luxurious taste experience that elevates it beyond typical plant milks. Its delicious, nuanced flavour is incredibly versatile, making it the perfect barista-approved complement for coffee and tea, or to add a delightful twist in baking and smoothies.
