Remember the Good Food Awards we reported on a couple of months back? This is a California-based group that recognizes producers of artisan, craft foods using local ingredients in a number of categories, including beer, charcuterie, cheese, chocolate, coffee, confections, honey, oils, pickles, preserves and spirits.
There were 11 N.C. companies on the list when finalists were announced in November. The winners were announced this week in San Francisco and while Charlotte's Cloister Honey didn't make the final cut for its bourbon-infused honey, a solid list of Tar Heel foods did. (No N.C. beer makers, though? I'm surprised by that, too.) April McGreger, maker of Farmer's Daughter pickles and preserves in Carrboro did particularly well.
Find the full list on the Good Foods website above, and put these N.C. winners on your shopping list as you roam the state:
Cheese:
Looking Glass Creamery, Connemara.
Chocolate:
Black Mountain Chocolate, Mountain Milk Bar.
Escazu Chocolate, 70% Tumbes.
French Broad Chocolates, 68% Percent Nicaragua.
Confection:
Videri Chocolate Factory, Strawberry Anise Ganache.
Pickles:
Farmer's Daughter, Sweet Corn & Pepper Relish.

Preserves:

The next time I learn a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I mean, I know it was my option to read, but I truly thought youd have one thing interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you can fix in the event you werent too busy on the lookout for attention. casino real money
