Southern Goodness Gourmet Taste

Small-batch pimento cheese like you’ve never tasted before.

Finicky Foods mission stems from the love of our home state of North Carolina and the joy of Southern snack foods. With meticulously crafted recipes and sustainable packaging, we are the first gourmet pimento cheese in reusable glass jars.

In our recipes, we use brands you recognize like Duke’s Mayonnaise and Philadelphia Cream Cheese. Our flavors come from a place of curiosity, fun and familiar. Spices are sourced from Harmony House Foods in Western NC, Savory Spice Shop Charlotte and other local artisans.

Our Flavors
Smoked Gouda
Sweet Carolina
Fiery
Everything
Dill
Vegan Original
Vegan Jalapeño
