Pimento cheese is more than an appetizer or snack — it’s an institution. Known by many as “the caviar of the South,” this highly craveable concoction of shredded Cheddar, zesty, diced pimento, and a binding agent (in most cases, mayonnaise) tops everything from crackers to sandwiches to endive leaves across the southern United States – and its national popularity has only grown in recent years. In order to keep up with the spreading excitement for this exciting spread, we’ve intoduced Trader Joe’s Pimento Cheese Dip, our own take on this Southern classic, that ups the creaminess factor via the introduction of a lush, luxurious, Neufchâtel-like cream cheese to the mix. Savory, cheesy, and delightfully full-flavored, Trader Joe’s Pimento Cheese Dip can be enjoyed as an indulgent hors d’oeuvre before a dinner party, a topping for a burger or hot dog at a barbecue, or just an anytime snack with a cracker, tortilla chip, or baby carrot. Our supplier has truly gone the extra mile by using tangy, pickled pimentos, adding just the faintest touch of vinegar to every bite. Here’s an extra special tip: add a light layer to a grilled cheese prior to frying for an utterly out-of-this-world sandwich experience.
