'sofi' Winners Announced at Summer Fancy Food Show

The winners of the 2014 sofi Awards for outstanding specialty foods and beverages of the year were announced on Monday at a red-carpet ceremony at the Summer Fancy Food Show in New York.

"sofi" stands for specialty outstanding food innovation. This year's contest was the largest in its 42-year history, with specialty food makers submitting 2,737 products across all 32 awards categories. The sofi Award for Outstanding New Product went to East Hampton Gourmet Food’s Lentil Rice Crispbread with Sesame and Pink Salt.

The awards, considered the top honor in the $88.3-billion specialty food industry, were presented by acclaimed pastry chef Dominique Ansel. The Awards are open to members of the Specialty Food Association, a not-for-profit trade association for food artisans, importers and entrepreneurs.

The Specialty Food Association is a thriving community of food artisans, importers and entrepreneurs who bring craft, care and joy to the distinctive foods they produce. Established in 1952 in New York, the not-for-profit trade association provides its 3,000 members in the U.S. and abroad the tools, knowledge and connections to champion and nurture their companies in an always-evolving marketplace. The Association (formerly the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade, Inc.) owns and produces the Winter and Summer Fancy Food Show, and presents the sofi Awards honoring excellence in specialty food.
