2024 SOFI AWARD WINNERS
The Specialty Food Association’s sofi Awards have honored the best in specialty food for over 50 years. Winning a sofi Award honors the best in class in specialty food and brings exposure from food buyers from top names in supermarkets, specialty retailers, foodservice, distributors, and the press.
THIS YEAR'S GOLD WINNERS
This year, Amedei was awarded Gold for its Crema Toscana Nocciola Black, Villa Manodori won Gold for its Dark Cherry Balsamic, Caffe Vergnano won Gold for its Women in Coffee Espresso Beans.
The Specialty Food Association works with the Food Innovation Center at Rutgers University (FIC) to manage the judging. Through anonymous tastings, FIC experts, specialty food buyers, journalists, and influencers evaluated the 2024 product entries to determine winners. A detailed process assesses entrants across 49 categories for flavor, appearance, texture, aroma, ingredient quality, and innovation.
