Prissy’s of Vidalia – Southern Gourmet Food
Today I have a fabulous company to introduce you to called Prissy’s of Vidalia which was started in 1986 in a small kitchen in Vidalia, Georgia. Prissy’s Inc. is a Southern Gourmet Food Company where you can find delicious food items such as gourmet dips, dressings, jellies, barbecue sauces, hot sauces, relishes, fruit butters, preserves, gourmet beverages and so much more! If you love the gourmet goodness of the South…you are going to love Prissy’s of Vidalia!
Here is some history on the company: (provided to me by the company): Prissy’s of Vidalia was started in 1986 in a small kitchen in Vidalia, Georgia. Priscilla Oxley had the idea of creating a quality specific food that looked attractive, tasted good and was made with quality ingredients. In the beginning, the focus was on recipes made with Vidalia Sweet Onions, however…due to consumer demand, Prissy’s expanded into other Southern recipes with an emphasis on the Sweet Georgia Peach. Today, Prissy’s continues to promote those two items but has expanded into other Southern Foods such as Pickled Watermelon Rind, Pickled Okra, Pickled Asparagus and an array of other fresh vegetables and fruits. The growth and demand of these types of products has been a direct result of consumers realizing that Priscilla has mastered these special southern recipes while still having a down home flavor. Presently, Prissy’s has over 100 gourmet food items and is still growing.
Our Review:
As someone who loves to cook, bake and entertain guests in my home…I was super excited about doing a product review for Prissy’s of Vidalia. I wanted to entertain some guests and throw a party and use the items I was sent at the party but ended up in the hospital for 26 days. With that said, I decided to have hubby bring in the 2 products along with a variety of tortilla chips and pretzels and we treated the afternoon nursing staff with a taste testing party of Southern Gourmet Goodness!
First up…we received a 10 oz. jar of Prissy’s Vidalia Onion & Peach Salsa which we served to them with 2 bags of organic tortilla chips. In a matter of 30 minutes….the entire jar and both bags of chips were completely gone! The Vidalia Onion & Peach Salsa is a wonderful taste of unique salsa that is excellent with tortilla chips or you can use it on baked/broiled fish and chicken dishes. It is Fat-Free & Cholesterol Free and has a 2-year shelf life. Every nurse who tried the salsa that afternoon told me that they loved the taste that it was mild but had a slight kick to it and tasted like it was freshly made an hour earlier. They could not believe that it came from a jar even though Prissy’s uses all fresh ingredients. They all told me that they would indeed purchase this salsa to serve to their family, friends or to party guests and NONE of them had a negative thing to say about it.
I will admit, I didn’t get to try the salsa at all but I did make sure that I got a few bites of the next product! The second product we reviewed and served to our “nurse friends” was Prissy’s Honey Mustard Pretzel Dip that also comes in a 10 oz. jar. For this one…hubby brought in 3 bags of pretzels (rods, twists and nuggets) and we served the pretzel dip to them with the pretzels. Again, this one was gone in less than 30 minutes and they even wiped the jar clean!
I love pretzels and pretzel dips so I made sure that I got a few taste tests of this one and I will admit, this is one of the best gourmet honey mustard pretzel dips that I have ever tasted….if not the best…certainly second best! A good pretzel dip will blend the ingredients together so well that it’s sweet but yet has a mild spicy kick to it and this pretzel dip is no exception. At first I would taste the “sweet” but after a few seconds I got my mild “kick” that I expected. The pretzel dip tasted freshly homemade, had the perfect blend of ingredients and I loved that after just one taste…you craved seconds, thirds, fourths, etc. within seconds. You can’t stop with just one bite…you have to keep going until it’s gone and like I said….we all gobbled it up in less than 30 minutes. Amy (one of the nurses) told me that day that she had never had a pretzel dip before and was now a firm believer that dipping pretzels in a pretzel dip was much more delicious than a bag of chips in a chip dip. Yeah! (I have always been a pretzel dipper so I am glad to see a new convert).
Overall Impression:
We all loved both products we sampled that afternoon and my only complaint would be that I didn’t have more of it to gobble up myself. Sigh….next time I won’t be generous and share! Seriously though…both of these products are just delicious and I seriously doubt you could make a better tasting Peach Salsa or Honey Mustard Pretzel Dip! I highly recommend that you check out Prissy’s and all of their wonderful Southern Gourmet Food Products…especially the 2 products we reviewed!
