History of the sofi Awards
The Industry's Most Coveted Honor
user rating
The sofis, formerly known as the NASFT Product Awards, have honored the most outstanding specialty foods since 1972.
At the beginning, only two awards were given: Outstanding Domestic Product and Outstanding Imported Product. At that time, much of the specialty food on the market came from Europe and there was a distinct Continental flair to the Fancy Food Show and the awards.
Today, the sofi Awards represent culinary creativity across America and around the globe. The Silver Finalists are selected at the NASFT offices in New York City by a national panel of specialty food retailers, foodservice professionals and journalists.
sofi stands for "specialty outstanding food innovation"
and represents the best of the best.
