Our Story

One man:
The Founder of the “golden HAT award”.

One bold belief:
Let’s promote Vegetarian food and beverage products only

One simple question:
Why isn’t there an award that celebrates food and beverage products that is not only having a great taste, but also honest with its labelling”?

In a world full of marketing claims and half-truths, we found a gap which is missing recognition for brands that create food with integrity within vegetarianism. Consumers are seeking more than just flavour; they are looking for honesty on labels and food made with real care.

That is when the idea of the “golden HAT award” was born.
HAT, standing for Honest And Tasty. This became our guiding principle where we cherish a standard that goes beyond great taste, celebrating the values behind every bite. Our goal was not only just to crown the great tasting product, but also to recognize the products that put ethics, quality, and honesty on the same plate as flavour.

From small artisanal makers to innovative pioneers, we are building a community where conscious food choices are applauded and where trust earns the “golden HAT award”.

In a world full of automation, we embrace
“Human Effort”

It takes time, but delivers trust.
