Black Walnut Oil wins 2014 Good Food Award

The Black Walnut Oil produced by Hammons Products in Stockton, Mo., won a 2014 National Good Food Award. The Good Food Awards celebrate food that is tasty, authentic and responsibly produced. Awards are given to outstanding American food producers and the farmers who provide their ingredients.

The annual awards ceremony honors Good Food Award recipients who push their industries toward craftsmanship and sustainability while enhancing our agricultural landscape and building strong communities.

In 2014, Good Food Awards were given to winners in ten categories: beer, charcuterie, cheese, chocolate, coffee, confections, pickles, preserves, spirits and the newest category, oil. The Good Food Awards seal assures consumers they have found something exceptionally delicious that also supports sustainability and social good.

The Good Food Awards oil category recognized America’s tastiest fruit, nut and seed oils from pioneering producers who are held to the highest standards of quality and sustainability. Good oil is pressed and bottled without the use of added heat, chemical extractors, artificial additives or GM ingredients.
