Owner and operator of A Taste of Excellence Catering, a luxury catering company operating out of Strongsville, Ohio, William Rini has made clear his stance on the situation.

In a recent interview with local business publication Crain's Cleveland Business, the A Taste of Excellence Catering boss explained, "We buy Ohio Proud beef and serve Ohio City Pasta, Lucky Penny Farm products and Mitchell's Homemade Ice Cream, among other local produce and products."

"Today," the Ohio native continues, "people know their wines, they know fine food and, as a result, they're looking for more locally produced goods. That's why whatever we can source locally, we use at A Taste of Excellence Catering."

Ohio City Pasta produces fresh pasta, hand-crafted in Cleveland, Ohio. "Long before Cleveland became a culinary destination, we pioneered an uncompromising passion for excellent food. Made in small batches since 1990, our pasta is celebrated throughout the Midwest by top chefs and food-lovers alike," explains Gary Thomas, owner of the company.

"Indeed," adds Rini, "made from the highest-quality ingredients, using perfected techniques and the result of careful attention to detail, Ohio City Pasta has earned its reputation as the pasta-maker of choice for the professional."

Lucky Penny Farm, meanwhile, operating out of Kent, Ohio, calls itself "a special place where art, agriculture, and family intersect."

A favored supplier of A Taste of Excellence Catering, the farm raises three breeds of dairy goat, makes artisan cheeses and produces a delicious caramel sauce.

Moving on, and of Mitchell's Homemade Ice Cream, Rini explains, "Each batch is hand-crafted in their Ohio City kitchen, using many ingredients which grow well in the Ohio climate, sourced from other local suppliers."

"We take pleasure and pride," adds Pete Mitchell, the company's vice president, "in contributing to our Northeast Ohio communities and the lives of our employees. As part of this, we take care to charge prices which are affordable to families and all of our neighbors."

It's a stance and belief system which A Taste of Excellence Catering's William Rini is entirely behind.

Furthermore, public perception appears to be trending toward a similar, shared opinion. "Over 25 percent of Americans now prefer local brands and businesses to larger national or international alternatives," explains Rini, referencing a recent study carried out by Statista, the market research and business intelligence portal.

Of those polled by the organization and found to share Rini's and Mitchell's attitude toward local food and drink, the overwhelming majority suggested that local producers offered a more positive buying experience, delivering better quality and superior value for the money.

"At A Taste of Excellence Catering, we're here to deliver the levels of quality and service highlighted in the Statista study," adds Rini, wrapping up. "We're able to do this by dealing with local producers and suppliers, supporting the area, protecting the environment and doing something which our client base certainly seems to appreciate, all at the same time."
