Product Review and Pricing Analysis
4.24.08
Company: Farrist of Them All Pecan Pies
Products: Pecan Pie – Mail Order
Packaging/Labeling: (Pros): Absolutely fabulous! The pie was shrink wrapped with no cheap foil pans – instead it was neatly placed on a cardboard cake pan. Attached to the wrapping on the pie was a very neat ‘To and From’ hang tag, with a very ‘cute’ poem on the back (see image).
The pie was shipped in a very nice box with a super neat insulator. Inside the box on the left and right panels were informational and nutrition/ingredient statement stickers. Very professional!
Overall, the presentation definitely had a ‘Wow Factor’ that makes this an excellent gift! Your recipient will be as impressed opening the package as they will be eating the pie.
Packaging/Labeling ranking: 9/10!
Taste/Consistency/Quality: If you are looking for an uber-rich Pecan Pie, this is for you. I found it impossible to eat without a large glass of milk (while my wife prefers vanilla ice cream).
The consistency of the filling was very thick; almost like a custard. Our favorite part had to be the crust – very flaky, buttery, and obviously made by hand. You don’t get crust like this in your frozen section, or even from the top mail order pie companies these days.
Oh, and don’t let me forget the pecans. These pecans were not those you find in a typical cheapo pecan pie. They were enormous and very fresh tasting with a nice firm, semi-crunch to them. Not too soggy, and not too crunchy – just right! This pie must have been shipped out hours after baking.
Overall Flavor ranking: 9/10!
Uniqueness: So there are plenty of pecan pies out there – but you get what you pay for. Farrist of Them All’s Pecan Pie may not be for the everyday Pecan Pie consumer due to the price tag (compared to cheapo pies at the grocery store), but as a gift, it is hard to beat. What Farris’t of Them All really targets is gift givers. Pecan Pie is a classic gift, and does not have to be frozen to ship. Since most busy people don’t have time to do it on their own, ordering a Pecan Pie online and shipping it as a gift makes a lot of sense, especially when you can find one with such a magnificent presentation as Farris’t of Them All’s.
Summary: Delicious, hand-made Pecan Pie with the freshest ingredients coupled with top-notch packaging makes Farris’t of them all’s Pecan Pie a must-have, and the ultimate mail-order gift for any occasion. GourmetFoodPR.com’s overall ranking: 9/10
