H-E-B has picked the winners of its fifth annual Primo Picks Quest for Texas Best competition, in which four brands will gain shelf space at its stores. The grand prize winner for 2018 was Mmmpanadas, an Austin-based maker of artisan frozen empanadas. The first, second, and third place winners were cheesecake baker Chef Rey Inc., ice cream producer Bellefontaine, and biscuit maker Pennymade. Through two qualifying rounds, submissions were judged on taste and flavor, customer appeal, value, uniqueness, market potential, and differentiation from current products at most H-E-B stores.
Since its inception in 2014, Quest for Texas Best has yielded more than 432 new products on H-E-B's grocery, bakery, deli, and market shelves across the state.
