Lioni had three incredible days as the Specialty Food industry came together for the Summer Fancy Food Show in NYC for the first time in three years.  Lioni showcased their fresh mozzarella products and connected with both old & new friends at this prominent trade show destination and was recognized for their Stracciatella with a top honor from the Specialty Food Association, 2022 sofi™ New Product Award!
