Six specialty food retailers analyzed and tasted more than 1,500 entries, consisting of nearly 3,500 specialty food products. The judging panel selected 98 Finalists.

On Sunday, June 27 at the Summer Fancy Food Show in New York City, the 98 Finalist products were sampled and judged by more than 100 specialty food retailers from around the country. The votes were tallied and 20 Winners were announced at the Meet the Tastemakers Reception.
