Nounos Creamery selected as FABI Favorite: A Recognition of Excellence

We are thrilled to announce that Nounos Creamery's Triple Cream Greek yogurt has been selected as a FABI Favorite at the 2023 National Restaurant Association Show. This coveted award is a testament to our commitment to quality, innovation, and delicious taste.

The Food and Beverage (FABI) Awards, hosted annually by the National Restaurant Association Show, recognize the most influential new foodservice products and trends. This year, a record-breaking 42 products were honored, reflecting the diverse and exciting developments shaping the industry. From plant-based proteins to global cuisines, the awards cover a broad spectrum of innovative offerings.

Each FABI entry was carefully evaluated by an independent panel of judges from across the foodservice industry, based on criteria such as taste, uniqueness, appeal to the operator community, and innovative approaches to meeting operator challenges. Of the 42 winners, only eight were singled out as FABI Favorites, indicating that they represent the most groundbreaking and influential products submitted.

Our triple cream Greek yogurt was one of these esteemed eight, standing out amongst a highly competitive field. This recognition is a source of immense pride for our team and confirms our dedication to crafting the finest quality dairy products. Made with love and passion, Nounos Creamery’s Greek yogurt is a creamy, delicious delight that captures the authentic essence of traditional Greek yogurt.

As Chef Marion Gibson, Director of Culinary Innovation at Aramark and a FABI judge, remarked, "I’m honored to have been part of the selection process and excited for the foodservice community to get a taste of the judges’ top picks, with the new FABI Favorites category.” She further added, "all the 2023 FABI awardees are prime examples of the delicious creativity and innovation that drives the industry forward".

During the National Restaurant Association Show, which took place from May 20-23 at McCormick Place in Chicago, attendees had the opportunity to taste the award-winning products, offering industry-wide exposure for all FABI awardees.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our dedicated team, without whom this achievement would not have been possible, and to our customers for their ongoing support. This award motivates us to continue pushing the boundaries of taste and quality in our pursuit of creating outstanding dairy products.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates from Nounos Creamery, and remember – life's too short for bad yogurt!
