FOOD INDUSTRY AWARD
(November
1, 2002) Results of the 2003 Scovie Awards, one of the top international
food competitions -- have just been announced, and Romney, West
Virginia based Gourmet Central is among the winners. Gourmet
Central, which manufactures,
Co-Packs
and Private labels over 150 products, has received two 2003
Scovie Awards; the competition is widely accepted as the top
award for hot and spicy foods internationally. Chef Harv Christie
is CEO of the 12 year old company.
Chef Harv's
Hot Pepper Jelly won 1st place in the Sweet Heat category and
the HTH Habanero Pepper Jelly took 3rd place in the same category!
Over 500 products competed for top honors. The Scovie Awards,
which are presented by Fiery-Foods and Barbecue Magazine, along
with Sunbelt Shows, producers of the National Fiery Foods &
Barbecue Show, were announced November 1 in Albuquerque, NM.
The awards, named for Wilbur Scoville who pioneered a rating
scale for spicy foods, have become the industry standard for
excellence in over 60 categories of fiery foods.
Dave DeWitt,
long considered the father of the fiery foods industry and producer
of the National Fiery Foods & Barbecue Show, noted, As the
North American palate has become more global, fiery
foods products have become more gourmet and designed less
for shock value. This year's Scovie winners really exemplify
the diversity and quality of this industry. It is not so much
about heat as about the wonderful flavors of fiery foods.
