Southern Goodness Gourmet Taste

small-batch recipe invoking that homemade flavor you know & love

Finicky Foods products stem from the love of our home state of North Carolina and the joy of eating Southern snack foods. Our flavors come from a place of curiosity, fun and familiarity.

With meticulously crafted recipes and sustainable packaging, we bring you joy in a jar with our gourmet pimento cheeses. We use brands you recognize - like Duke’s Mayonnaise & Philadelphia Cream Cheese. Ingredients & spices are sourced from Harmony House Foods in Western NC, Savory Spice Shop Charlotte and other NC artisans.
