Great Taste 2026: Three of Our Oils Are In
There is a quiet buzz in the Natura Harmony kitchen this summer. Three of our cold-pressed oils are now with the Great Taste 2026 judges: grape seed, black cumin and walnut.
What Great Taste 2026 is, and why it matters
Great Taste 2026, run by the Guild of Fine Food, is one of the most trusted food awards in the world. Every product is judged blind. The panels of chefs, buyers and food writers taste with no branding, no packaging and no story in front of them. Just the food. That is exactly why we enter. There is no better test of what is actually in the bottle.
Last year gave us a lovely start
In 2025, two of our oils came home with a Great Taste star each. The judges loved the “roller coaster of seed flavours” in our pumpkin seed oil, and called our sea buckthorn oil “delicious and unique”, with a colour that “positively glows in the glass”. You can read more about that golden oil in our cook’s guide to sea buckthorn.
Our three Great Taste 2026 entries
For 2026 we have sent three very different characters to the table.
- Grape seed oil, our quiet all-rounder. Clean, light and delicate, the oil we reach for when the other ingredients should lead.
- Black cumin oil, the bold one. Peppery, herbal and impossible to ignore. There are ten ways to use it on the Journal.
- Walnut oil, warm, buttery and deeply nutty. Try it in our creamy walnut dressing.
All three are made the same way as everything we press: cold-pressed, unrefined, single-ingredient, vegan, GMO-free and ISO 22000 certified.
Now we wait
Results arrive at the end of the summer. We would love to add another star or two to the shelf, but the truth is the judging itself is the prize. Blind feedback from some of the toughest palates in food makes every batch after it better.
Fingers crossed, kettles on. We will share the Great Taste 2026 news here and on our social pages the moment it lands. In the meantime, the whole range is in our shop.
Be one with nature.
