Distinctive Preserve and Holiday Gift Produced at family estate winery
TORONTO (May 10, 2021) – Fruit of the Land’s Tishbi Cherry Shiraz, a sensational combination of Tishbi family estate Shiraz wine and local fresh cherries, has won a 2020 sofi Silver Award for outstanding Fruit Spreads, Jams & Jellies from the Specialty Food Association.
"The sofi Awards have been recognizing the best of the best in the specialty food industry since 1972,” said Laura Lozada, vice president of membership for the SFA. “We are so proud of our members and their perseverance during this difficult time. They continue to innovate and grow and are the foundation of our industry. The SFA is honored to recognize their creativity and the quality of their products.”
Unique, fragrant, and delicious, Tishbi Preserves are created by Fine Food by Oshra Tishbi from the vintage of her family’s award-winning winery, Tishbi Estate Winery, and local fresh fruit. Cooked in small batches to ensure the finest quality product in a natural, fruity, and flavourful, less sugared preserve. Rich, sweet and velvety, Shiraz wine and red cherries are a perfect match.
Denise Purcell, Editor, Senior Director, Specialty Food Association noted cherry-based specialty foods as one of the top 5 Trends for 2021 sofi Awards. “As consumers continue to navigate the disruption and unrest of the past year, familiar, simple flavors, and nostalgic and retro products are in demand, and stand out among 1500 entries in 49 award categories.”
Cherry Shiraz is great on a cheese board, complementing Goat cheese, Emmental, Camembert, Edam, or Gruyere atop a cracker or baguette. Delicious on a warm croissant or spooned over ice cream. Wonderful for entertaining, an ideal hostess or Holiday gift.
An elegant gift box duo to hold any two Tishbi preserves is available. All products are kosher.
