PRLog - Aug. 19, 2014 - BRIDGEWATER, Canada -- On 18th August 2014, Nova Scotian agricultural pioneers, LaHave Forests, won the ‘Product Innovation Award’ for their ‘haskapa’ brand of Haskap juice at the 2014 World Congress of Food Science & Technology in Montreal, Quebec.
This award is the third accolade won by the Haskap Juice since its launch in November 2013 after the World Juice Award’s ‘Best New Juice 2013’ and Taste of Nova Scotia’s ‘Innovative Product 2013’. The award was collected by Giovana Celli, a PhD student working with LaHave Forests to investigate and extract the high levels of antioxidants from Haskap berries.
“To have won so many awards in such a short period of time is an indication of the quality and versatility of the product, and demonstrates the commercial viability of this new and exciting crop” says Liam Tayler, Commercial Director of LaHave Forests.
“We consider the ‘haskapa’ Haskap juice to be the most exciting and versatile juice to come out of Canada for some time, and this award raises awareness as to the potential of the Canadian Haskap industry.”
Consumers and industry professionals alike are impressed with the versatility of the Haskap drink, not just its characteristics as a rich and delicious juice with potential health benefits, but also its potential as a non-alcoholic wine substitute and cocktail ingredient.
“This award proves that Canadian agriculture can still create something innovative, exciting and unique,” says Tayler. “Watch this space for more delicious, exceptional Haskap berry products!”
The World Congress of Food Science & Technology is the leading international event for food technologists. The emerging Haskap industry has piqued the attention of attendees with a number of presentations by renowned academics on the potential of the Haskap Berry and its nutritional properties.
