SAVANNAH, Ga. – Just in time for the holidays, longtime local favorite, The Savannah Cheese Straw Company, has officially opened a new retail location in the heart of Savannah.

The locally-owned and operated snack company started in 2018, but is 20 years in the making. The recipe was developed over 10 years ago as a popular item on owner Katie Tedder Burgess’s catering menu. Demand for the slightly spicy, savory Southern staple drove Burgess to devote all of her efforts to producing and marketing her crisp, artisan snacks, gaining a national and international following. After a 3 year partnership with Savannah’s own coffee·deli, The Savannah Cheese Straw Company recently moved into a new retail store front located at 906 E. 72nd Street.

“This is a labor of love. It makes me so happy that people love them so much,” said Burgess.

Made with no preservatives and only six, simple ingredients, including cheddar and cayenne, these scrumptious, savory straws pair perfectly with beer, wine or your favorite beverage and are a welcome addition to any charcuterie board, picnic, buffet or tailgate. Hand packed into

one of three sizes (3, 7 or 14 oz), they also make a delightful hostess gift, teacher present or stocking stuffer.
