Hampshire businesses have won over 100 prizes at a prestigious food award.
The county is healthily represented in the Great Taste Awards 2023.
The awards were announced on Monday after more than 500 judges took part in blind taste tests to rate the quality of food producers across the country.
108 The Bakery, based in Latimer Walk in Romsey, was among the four winners handed the ultra-rare three stars for its Seeded Sour.
The awards organised by the Guild of Fine Food will judge products made anywhere in the world.
