Piedmont Pennies is a woman-owned snack company in Charlotte, North Carolina. Founder Becca Wright transformed her grandmother’s cheese straw recipe into bite-sized “Pennies,” hand-pinched cheese crackers made with sharp cheddar, butter, and a touch of spice. Flavors include Original Sharp Cheddar and Spicy Chipotle. Marketed as artisanal Southern snacks that pair well with drinks and make thoughtful gifts, Piedmont Pennies operates its bakery in Charlotte and sells nationwide through its website and select retailers.
