Wild Rose Marketing Vendors win four 2011 Gold SOFI Awards! By Liza Milijasevic
Yes – a real triumph for good taste (if we say so ourselves!). The SOFI Gold Awards were announced at a gala event on July 11 at the Summer Fancy Food Show in Washington DC. These are the Oscar winners of Specialty Foods and through Wild Rose Marketing you can order all eight SOFI Finalists, including the four Gold Award winners. Why not take advantage of recognition by the National Association of Specialty Food Traders (NASFT) to create a stunning “Award Winners” display in your store.
2011 SOFI Gold Award Winners
Category: Baked Good, Baking Ingredient
This product truly is a game changer for any baker. Vanilla extract combines with real seeds from the vanilla pod in a syrupy base which (unlike extract) tastes incredible even from the jar. It can be used measure for measure as extract or as a cost effective and time saving substitute for real vanilla beans. Ideal for crème brules and ice creams. No store or restaurant should be without it.
Category: Chocolate
70% dark cacao bar filled with delectable molten, salt-spiked caramel - a firm customer favorite.
Category: Confection
These amazing butter caramels pepped up with Washington grown Chili peppers come in an elegant, small indulgence four pack and wowed the judges with their perfect balance of spicy and sweet. Theo’s Chipotle Spice Sipping Chocolate was also a SOFI finalist. Personally, this is the most delicious hot chocolate I have ever sipped - the perfect antidote to those first chill fall days
Category: Cooking Sauce or Flavor Enhancer
This sauce from frequent SOFI winner Stonewall Kitchen masterfully blends slow roasted peaches and the smoothest whiskey. It works as well on sandwiches as with grilled meats or as a BBQ sauce. Full list of 2011 NASFT Silver SOFI Finalists and Gold Award Winners
