Maine Specialty Food Producer, Stonewall Kitchen, Wins the 2019 Bronze Sofi™ Award in the Vinegar Category

YORK, Maine, May 3, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Award-winning specialty food producer, Stonewall Kitchen, is pleased to announce that its 25-Star Grand Reserve Balsamic Vinegar received the 2019 Bronze sofi™ Award in the Vinegar Category from the Specialty Food Association.

“It’s an absolute honor to receive this award,” stated Janine Somers, Director of Marketing. “Stonewall Kitchen acquired Napa Valley Naturals in November of 2018, a brand known for its high quality and taste of natural oils and vinegars. The 25-Star Grand Reserve Balsamic Vinegar is one of the most popular products in the Napa Valley Naturals vinegar line, and for us to win this award is a great testament to the premium brands we have added to our family of brands.” 

Continued Somers, “The Grand Reserve Balsamic Vinegar is a delicious clean label with just two ingredients: grape must and wine vinegar. The vinegar’s rich and smooth taste is a perfect addition to any meal that you’d like to take to the next level.” 

This is the 30th award Stonewall Kitchen has received from the Specialty Food Association in 22 years.
