A new smoked trout pate with beetroot & horseradish chutney.

Great Taste Awards 2023, 2-Star Winning Product.

From the judges:

This is delightful and we don’t think we can improve upon it! Light and fresh, with a divinely clean flavour. The notes of smoke are perfect, the earthy beetroot light and sweet, the horseradish is so very well thought through. Not at all astringent and nasal clearing, it is hanging around on the sidelines doing it’s earthy, warm-hued thing! The trout isn’t over worked or grainy –- you haven’t processed this and it shows. We think it is utterly delicious.

This is a great looking pate with an excellent texture for good mouthfeel. The flavour of this pate is very well judged, with the delicate smoked trout coming through and being enhanced by the sweetness of the beetroot and the spicy horseradiish. This is a very tasty classic trout pate which would keep you going back for more – bring on the fresh sourdough bread.

A lovely enticing colour with a deliciously soft and light texture. The smoke aspect was pleasantly light and well integrated, which allowed some of the other flavours to come through. However, we would have liked more horseradish and beetroot to have a greater presence.

We loved the idea of this trout pate and thought it had an appealingly healthy pale pink colour. The addition of sweet, vinegary, earthy beetroot and horseradish chutney is interesting and appealing, although we would have loved a little more heat from the radish. The texture of the trout is little dry and feels separate from the soft light texture of the rest of the pate. We felt there were some great flavours in there, but wanted more earthy fish flavour from the trout and felt it needed a little more fat – either from butter or cream cheese/cream, to hep unify all the flavours. T this is a tasty pate and we think this innovative product has huge potential.
