LIVERPOOL, UK. August 21st 2025 – Mama Sood’s, the independent chutney brand known for bold flavours and versatility, has been awarded two stars at the Great Taste Awards this year – a major milestone for the family business.
The winning flavours – Date & Tamarind and Tomato & Pineapple – each received a coveted star, marking them as products that stood out during blind taste testing by a panel of expert judges.
The Date & Tamarind chutney was praised for its “unexpected flavour journey of sweet, sour, and then heat.” Judges described it as “dark and glossy” with “curry flavours and some spicy heat,” and said the tamarind “compliments the dates and it lingers beautifully on the tongue.” Many noted it would work brilliantly as a marinade or glaze, not just a condiment.
Tomato & Pineapple also impressed, with judges calling it “well presented” and highlighting its “rich tomato colour packed with pieces of fruit.” They praised the “inviting pineapple aroma”, “plump and juicy” raisins, and “well-balanced” seasoning.
Founded just two years ago, Mama Sood’s quickly gained a loyal following after appearing at markets across the UK. The brand’s chutneys are made in small batches using natural, vegan-friendly ingredients, with flavour combinations rooted in authentic family recipes and Indian heritage.
To celebrate the win, Mama Sood’s has launched an exclusive Great Taste Bundle, offering both award-winning flavours for a discounted £10 via their website.
Founder Paalan said: “Winning at the Great Taste Awards is a lovely milestone to reach after two years of hard work. Our market regulars and loyal fans already know how special these flavours are, but getting recognition from such a respected panel takes things to a whole new level. It’s a real boost for a small business like ours, and we hope it encourages even more people to give us a try.”
This recognition shines a spotlight on the brand’s growing presence across the UK. Mama Sood’s has become a regular fixture at some of the country’s best artisan markets, where fans and newbies alike get a chance to meet the team behind the jars and sample the full range of bold flavours in person.
