PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Luciana uchi Davidzon for Umikah
NEW YORK, NY (OCTOBER 2026) — UMIKAH, a New York-based artisan gourmet brand specializing in premium fruit curds and spreads, has earned double recognition as two of its signature creations, Yuzu & Lime Curd and Tropical Curd, have been named finalists for the prestigious 2027 sofi™ Gold Awards in the Spreads category.
Presented by the Specialty Food Association, the sofi™ Awards recognize outstanding specialty food products based on quality, flavor, and innovation. Winners are selected through a blind tasting process.
For UMIKAH, a small independent brand founded by a pastry chef, receiving two finalist nominations in the same category represents a significant milestone.
Crafted in small batches using real ingredients and no preservatives, UMIKAH’s fruit curds combine culinary creativity with distinctive flavor profiles.
Yuzu & Lime Curd delivers a sophisticated balance of fragrant Japanese yuzu and vibrant lime, while Tropical Curd brings together mango, passion fruit, pineapple, and lime in a bright, exotic combination.
Competing alongside established specialty food brands with significantly greater resources, UMIKAH’s double recognition highlights the creativity and potential of independent artisan producers.
Founded with a passion for creating exceptional gourmet experiences, UMIKAH continues to develop innovative spreads that elevate everything from breakfast and desserts to everyday culinary moments.
The brand’s products are available through select specialty food retailers and online at umikah.com.
