Thick Cut Applewood Smoked Uncured Bacon Recognized for Culinary Excellence
The Specialty Food Association (SFA) awarded North Country Smokehouse the prestigious sofi ™ Award for the New Product category. The sofi ™ Awards, short for Specialty Outstanding Food Innovation, recognizes creativity and culinary excellence within the specialty food industry.
The judging for the 51st annual sofi ™ Awards took place at the Food Innovation Center at Rutgers University, the esteemed partner of SFA for these awards. Expert evaluators from the center conducted anonymous tastings across fifty-three categories, meticulously assessing products based on flavor, appearance, texture, aroma, ingredient quality, and innovation. Among 97 exceptional specialty food products that received Gold and New Product trophies, North Country Smokehouse prevailed in the New Product category for their new to market, Thick Cut Applewood Smoked Uncured Bacon. Handcrafted with expertise and a commitment to excellence, they have once again proven their dedication to producing exceptionally flavorful smoked meats made with respect for people, animals, and the environment.
The winners of the sofi ™ Product of the Year Award and New Product of the Year Awards will be featured at the 2023 Summer Fancy Food Show in New York.
