2002
SCOVIE AWARD WINNERS ANNOUNCED
d’Oni Enterprises Places in Two Product Categories
(October
2001 - Sherman Oaks, CA) d’Oni Enterprises' products have once
again achieved highest honors in the country's largest specialty sauce and
condiment contest, continuing its streak of earning a place among the top
award winners in each contest it has entered since the company's founding.
d’Oni's
Bold as Love Honey-Habanero Mustard was honored for the second year in a row,
earning second place in the mustard category of the 2002 Scovie Awards. In
its fifth year, the Scovie Awards are recognized as the preeminent product
competition in the fiery foods and barbecue industry. Approximately 531 entries
were submitted for review by a variety of national and international industry
leaders.
In
a unique circumstance, d’Oni Enterprises was also honored with a second
place award in the Grilling Sauces category for its brand new product, VIBE,
which will not reach the consumer marketplace until its official launch at
the 2002 Fiery Foods Show, to be held in Albuquerque, NM next March. A blend
of Indian, Thai, Latin and American flavors, VIBE may be used for grilling,
as a glaze or a dip for both meats and vegetables.
"We're
thrilled to see Bold As Love recognized again, but we're especially excited
about our newest product, VIBE, " said Janis Dalessandro, President and
Founder of d’Oni Enterprises. "Industry trends tell us that consumers
really enjoy the flavor of a hot/sweet fruit-based barbecue sauce, and that
the idea of "haute barbecue" isn't as far-fetched as many food purists
would like to think. We created VIBE for those individuals who like their
grilled foods to reflect a taste that is as unique as their own, and earning
this award before the product has even hit the marketplace tells us that we
definitely have the right idea."
Along
with VIBE and Bold as Love, d’Oni Enterprises produces two other award-winning
products: Moondance Marinade and Burning Desire Hot Sauce. All four d’Oni
specialties are made with natural ingredients, little or no preservatives,
and plenty of passion.
d’Oni
products can be purchased on the Internet at www.d-oni.com, and through specialty
retailers. For more information, call 818.888.3664.
