Nearly 1,500 Products Competed for Top Specialty Food Association Awards
Richmond, California (May 18, 2021) – Our FREEZER TO OVEN CHOCOLATE & CUSTARD CROISSANTS have won the New Product award in the BAKED GOODS CATEGORY as part of the Specialty Food Association’s (SFA) 2021 sofi™ Awards, a top honor in the $158 billion specialty food industry.
Our Freezer to Oven Chocolate & Custard Croissants were one of 130 winners selected from nearly 1,500 entries across 49 product categories. Products are judged in an anonymous sampling for taste - including flavor, appearance, texture, and aroma - ingredient quality, and innovation. The sofi judging was held at the prestigious Rutgers Food Innovation Center in April following strict safety guidelines.
“We are thrilled that our Freezer to Oven Chocolate & Custard Croissants won the gold award”, says Pascal Bossard, CEO of BRIOCHE PASQUIER |GALAXY DESSERTS. “The freezer to oven technology gives to our customers the ability to change their kitchen into an authentic French Bakery within minutes. Our goal is to bring French bakery items like Croissants and Brioche to your table, and this award will help us achieve that. Plus this year, our company has been honored with 3 sofi™ Awards! We are very proud of our team for this great accomplishment, and we thank SFA for the recognition.”
The sofi Awards competition is open annually to members of the Specialty Food Association. The Awards have been given each year since 1972. They recognize extraordinary specialty food and beverage products and the people who create them.
