Tomato tasting sessions across Marks & Spencer stores in the north-west of England proved a big success, suppliers claimed.

Melrow Salads and Flavourfresh Salads carried out tastings in eight stores during British Tomato week, trialing speciality tomatoes including Melrow, Jester and Santini.

A spokesman said: “All three varieties were rated very highly by the customers and we were very pleased at the comments received, particularly praising the use of the growers’ names on the pack and the use of the Union flag.”
