How we chose the best Easter product winners
The olive team chose six categories having researched which products you, our readers, would be most likely to buy this Easter.
We invited all the big supermarkets to select the products they wanted to nominate (just one entry per category, so they had to choose carefully).
Our expert panel of judges blind-tasted them, rating each on taste, texture and appearance. We then awarded gold, silver and bronze awards to our favourites.
It’s easy to find the products, just look out for this label in supermarkets
