White Rabbit Chocolate is celebrating after its Blackcurrant with Juniper Dark Truffle won one of the highest accolades in the world of fine food.
Sally Hawkes, chief chocolatier and creator of the award-winning truffle said: "I am ecstatic – this was the first time I entered my truffles.
"I did it because a lot of customers have told me that they are the best they have ever tasted, so it's amazing to have the acknowledgement after being blind-tasted by a wide range of food experts.
"I am over the moon, and very excited about travelling down to London for the awards.
"It's a great feeling that we can produce as good quality up here in Yorkshire as they pay fancy prices for down South."
More than 10,000 products were judged by over 400 food critics, chefs, cooks and farmers to select the best 50 in the UK.
White Rabbit Chocolate's truffle will now go through to a final round of the competition in London to compete for a coveted Golden Fork Award.
The chocolate makers are also in line to win the title of Great Taste Supreme Champion 2014.
