Finicky Foods products stem from the love of our home state of North Carolina and the joy of 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. You’ll recognize brand favorites like Duke’s Mayonnaise and Philadelphia Cream Cheese in our list of ingredients. Herbs and spices are sourced from Harmony House Foods in Western NC, Savory Spice Shop Charlotte and other NC artisans.
