Eighty-four Great Taste Awards have been handed out to the best food and drink producers in Cumbria.
Every year, the awards celebrate the best artisan and specialty producers across the world.
This year, over 14,195 products were submitted for the awards, from 109 countries around the world.
They are judged by 500 food critics, chefs, cooks, restaurateurs, buyers, retailers, and producers, food writers and journalists and are among the most coveted of all food and drink awards.
As part of the judging process each product was blind tasted, with each removed from its packaging, so that they could not be identified, before entering the layered judging process.
