Classic North Carolina Food Brands | Trail Of History

Explore classic food brands born here in North Carolina. A century ago a sugar shortage inspired a Salisbury entrepreneur to invent Cheerwine, and a bumper crop of cucumbers led to the creation of the Mount Olive Pickle Company. In the North Carolina Mountains, meet the people who make Ashe County Cheese, and then meet the family behind Mrs. Hanes’ Moravian Cookies. Classic North Carolina Food Brands can only be found here, on Trail Of History.
