Our award-winning products: Great Taste Award, WineHunter Award and other international recognitions....
From Cilento to international stages: our jars have been awarded by some of the most authoritative juries in the world of taste.
Our Achievements
In the 2026 edition of the WineHunter Award, the selection of the Merano Wine Festival, Minnelea received 2 Gold Awards and 2 Rosso Awards.
Two sweet products and two savoury ones: the same production method holds across the whole range, not on a single label.
Rosso Award
Our Extra Jam of White Cilento Figs received the Great Taste Award 2025, one of the most important recognitions in the world for artisan food.
Great Taste judges products blind, only on taste, balance and quality of ingredients. It is an independent seal certifying that what is in the jar really convinces those who taste for a living.
Minnelea is the only Italian producer awarded for jams at Great Taste 2025: an achievement that speaks for itself about the level of our work.
In the 2024 edition of the Merano WineHunter, one of the benchmarks for food and wine quality in Italy, Minnelea had received 3 Gold Awards and 2 Rosso Awards.
It is not a single label that gets awarded, but an entire range: the sign of a method that repeats jar after jar.
