Laura Chenel is gaining valuable recognition for its impressive portfolio of cheeses, as the supplier recently took home a new product award in the Cheese—Non-Cow Milk, Mixed Milk category as part of the Specialty Food Association’s (SFA) 2022 sofi™ Awards, honored for its innovative and flavorful Everything Bagel Fresh Goat Cheese.
“We at Laura Chenel are very proud that Everything Bagel Fresh Goat Cheese has been honored with the New Product sofi Award,” says Chief Executive Officer Laure Chatard. “To be distinguished by the specialty food industry for our newest flavor further validates our commitment to innovation, top-quality products, and creative flavors. We look forward to celebrating this achievement with the other amazing sofi Award winners, our colleagues, and customers at the Summer Fancy Food Show.”
Laura Chenel’s Everything Bagel Fresh Goat Cheese is a unique pairing of America’s original goat cheese with a popular blend of sesame and poppy seeds, garlic, and onion.
The mouthwatering product was one of 102 winners chosen by a panel of specialty food experts from nearly 2,000 entries across 53 product categories, according to a press release.
“Laura Chenel’s founding principles of care, quality, and community guide the company in making more than goat cheese,” says Brand Manager Durae Hardy, explaining that Laura Chenel made America’s first artisan goat cheese 40 years ago and continues to lead the industry with top-quality products. “Everything Bagel combines the best of our iconic original goat cheese with inventive flavors and taste experiences consumers crave. Every purchase also supports small family farms and our creamery’s sustainable practices including solar energy and on-site water recycling programs.”
This coveted accolade represents the cheesemaker’s commitment to innovation and crafting some of the highest-quality goat cheeses in the United States.
"The sofi Awards have been recognizing the best of the best in the specialty food industry for 50 years," said Laura Lozada, Vice President, Membership for the SFA. "We are thrilled to honor the innovation and creativity of our members, who are the foundation of the industry."
Further spotlighting its portfolio, Laura Chenel will also be showcasing a selection of new and popular products in the Deli Pavilion at the 2022 Summer Fancy Food Show, June 12–14 at the Javits Center in New York City, New York. As noted in the release, attendees will be able to sample smooth and creamy Everything Bagel Fresh Goat Cheese and the expanded line of 4 oz Flavored Logs, as well as perennial foodservice favorites Chef’s Chevre, Goat Cheese Crumbles, and Marinated Goat Cheese, and more.
