finest... / most supreme... (flavours)


Explanation:
"finest flavours"

or

"most supreme flavours"

I would initially go with "finest" as this food is often collocated in food related texts, but maybe for a variation "most supreme" would work.

Following comments from various peers, I suggest changing my original 2nd option to simply:

"supreme flavours..."

Example sentence(s):
  • "...Scotland's long history of farming and fishing ensure that Dufftowns' restaurants always have the finest flavours and ingredients available to them."
  • "LV Honey is dedicated to producing some of New Zealand's most supreme tasting honeys..."

neutral  James (Jim) Davis: I would have got such a big red cross through "most" if I had written that at school I'm afraid Lara. It just perhaps works in your example, but...

neutral  philgoddard: Jim is right - "most supreme" is like "most unique".
