NOMMii Oat Noodles Win Multiple Stars at Great Taste Awards 2026

When we crafted our oat noodles, we wanted them to taste like a bowl you’d get at a craft noodle bar, never a compromise you need to choose between convenience and taste.

Today, we’re thrilled to share that the blind-tasting judges at the Guild of Fine Food Great Taste 2026 Awards agree.

Both of our signature oat noodle flavors received awards this year, with a huge milestone for our Soy Scallion Oil, which was the only noodle with sauce to earn a 2-Star rating.

• Soy Scallion Oil Oat Noodles ⭐️⭐️ 2 Stars (Outstanding)
• Tingly Numbing Chili Oil Oat Noodles  ⭐️  1 Star (Simply Delicious)

We are proud of both awards, and very aware that the best part is still the same: opening a pack, cooking a bowl, and getting to eat it.

What are the Great Taste Awards?

For anyone unfamiliar with Great Taste, it is organized by the UK’s Guild of Fine Food and is widely regarded as the benchmark for fine food and drink worldwide.

Entries are judged strictly through blind-tasting by an expert panel of chefs, food critics, buyers, and industry experts. Products are judged strictly on flavor, texture, aroma, and quality, without any brand names or packaging to influence the verdict.

How rare is a 2-Star Award?

Every year, less than 10% of thousands of global entries earn 2 Stars ("Outstanding"). Having our Soy Scallion Oil reach that top tier, while standing out as the only 2 star sauced noodle in the category, is a huge milestone for us.

Meet the Award Winners

Soy Scallion Oil Oat Noodles  ⭐️⭐️

Fresh scallions slowly cooked until fragrant and blend them with a rich, savory soy sauce designed to coat every single strand evenly. Simple comfort that keeps you coming back for another bite. 

What the judges said: "Big umami in the aroma plus a welcome note of sweetness ...beautiful overall flavour that lasts."

Tingly Numbing Chili Oil Oat Noodles  ⭐️

It is warmth, fragrance, and that familiar mouth-tingling lift that makes chili oil more interesting than plain heat.

The point was never to make a spicy challenge. We wanted a bowl with real balance: subtle fire, pleasant numbness, and enough savory depth to keep the heat from flattening the flavor. Bold, but still knows how to behave at the table.

What the judges said: "...A pleasing level of chili along with the Sichuan peppers makes these very moreish. "

A Very Good Excuse to Make Noodles Tonight

Awards are lovely, but the real test happens in your kitchen. It is that moment when the water is boiling and you are deciding whether to drop in a jammy egg, fresh greens, or absolutely nothing at all because the bowl is already full of flavor.

We are deeply grateful to the awards, and above all, to everyone who has cooked, shared, and supported NOMMii from the start.
