CLEVELAND, April 5, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Fresher, tastier, and with less environmental impact, local produce promotes variety and supports local economies. "Local foods create community, too," suggests William Rini, owner of A Taste of Excellence Catering, based in Strongsville, Ohio. "Knowing where your food comes from connects you to the people who raised, grew or produced it," he adds.
Indeed, William Rini — a lifelong resident of Northeast Ohio — is well versed in the matter, with over 20 years of experience in the local hospitality and catering worlds.
People are much more educated about food and drink these days. They know their wines, fine food and look for more locally produced products. At A Taste of Excellence, we buy Ohio Proud beef and serve Ohio City Pasta, Lucky Penny Creamery products, and Mitchell's Ice Cream. Whatever we can source locally, we use.

Whatever we can source locally, we use," explains Rini in a recent interview with Crain's Cleveland Business, the area's leading business publication.
Under Rini's direction, A Taste of Excellence — specializing in wedding, corporate, contract and party catering, and winners of a 2018 WeddingWire Couples' Choice Award — are both proud of, and faithful to, the wider Cleveland area.
WeddingWire's Couples' Choice Awards recognize the top five percent of local wedding caterers and professionals and identify local businesses which have demonstrated excellence in quality, service, responsiveness, and professionalism, determined by reviews from over a million WeddingWire users.
While A Taste of Excellence serves up an extensive array of cuisines, specialties include a classically Ohioan clambake, utilizing local produce and staying true to the region. This is offered alongside a pig roast, executive cookout, summer's day picnic, and country barbecue-themed menu, all of which are perfectly and carefully tailored to the area.
"Along with gorgeous local settings, such as Cleveland's Grand City Hall Rotunda, the Old Courthouse, Jilbert Winery, and Hale Farm & Village, we pride ourselves on innovative menu planning. This includes a focus on detailed food presentation, and delivering the freshest local and seasonal ingredients," says Rini, reflecting on the importance of the local area to everything which goes on at A Taste of Excellence.
"We're here to deliver quality, often by dealing with local producers and vendors, and our clientele certainly seem to appreciate that. What's more, by dealing with local vendors we can often save our customers money at the same time," concludes Rini.
