The story

About Savor the Flavor

The inspiration

Savor the Flavor grew out of a love of trying new gourmet foods and sharing them with friends and family¹ . Its shelves focus on award winners from the International Fancy Food Shows, and the team tastes everything before stocking it, so nothing earns a spot unless it impresses them² .

Who's behind it

The shop was established by Karen and Denis Keegan in 1998, out of their shared love of good food and entertaining³ . She and Karen Keegan still make the buying decisions together, calling themselves the Gourmet Gals³ .
