Knott's Foods is a small, family-led food and beverage manufacturer based in Paris, Tennessee. Founded in 1947 by Cedric and Mildred Knott, the business began with Mildred's home recipes for pimiento cheese and a range of salads, delivering fresh product to nearby stores. Its product lineup has since expanded to include dips, spreads, and other prepared items, underpinned by a longstanding commitment to quality and customer service. Operating within the food and beverage manufacturing sector, Knott's Foods supplies ready-to-use spreads and related items to retailers and households seeking convenient options. What started locally has grown to serve customers across the nation while remaining under family leadership close to the original home site. In mid-2025, the company took part in the IDDBA trade show and was recognized as a Bronze sponsor of the What's in Store Live showcase.
