FORT PIERCE, FL - One specialty juice company is clearing space on the shelf for more accolades, as Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice Company has taken home the title of Best New Beverage at the 50th annual Specialty Food Association’s (SFA) sofi™ Awards. Highlighting its products amongst a host of other leading brands, the company nabbed the spotlight with its mouthwatering Natalie’s Guava Lemonade.
“We are honored that Specialty Food Association has recognized our Guava Lemonade with a best new product award,” said Natalie’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Marygrace Sexton. “Guava Lemonade brings a new, authentic twist to the summertime classic, and we can’t wait for our customers to start enjoying it.”
With just four ingredients—fresh lemons, Guava purée, Florida pure cane sugar, and water—the show-stealing product is honestly sourced, minimally processed, and is free of preservatives and artificial ingredients. It is also rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which can support healthy digestion and skin health, as explained in a press release.
Natalie’s Guava Lemonade competed with 2,000 entries across 53 product categories in the anonymous tastings held by judges at the Food Innovation Center at Rutgers University.
“Winning a sofi award for our new Guava Lemonade further reflects Natalie’s commitment to excellence when it comes to producing the highest quality juices available,” said Natalie’s Vice President of Marketing, Natalie Sexton. “Our authentic juices bring ‘sip of freshness’ to our customers’ lives, and Guava Lemonade is a perfect example of this.”
The award-winning products will also be showcased during the 2022 Summer Fancy Food Show at the Javits Center in New York, New York, June 12–14.
