Specialty Food Industry
Specialty food and beverages refer to food, beverages, or confections meant for human use that are of the highest grade, style, and/or quality in their respective categories. Their specialty nature derives from a combination of some or all of the following qualities, the common denominator of which is high quality: uniqueness, exotic origin, particular processing (and often an intentional lack thereof), design, limited supply, unusual application/use, and compelling packaging or channel of distribution/sale.
