About Pimento cheese spread

Pimento Cheese Spread is a creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy blend of freshly grated cheese, typically cheddar, combined with mayonnaise, diced pimentos (sweet red peppers), and seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne. Originating in the Southern United States, it’s a beloved staple in American cuisine, known as “The caviar of the South.” This spread is versatile, often enjoyed as a dip, sandwich filling, or paired with crackers and fresh vegetables. While Pimento Cheese Spread is rich in protein and calcium due to its cheese content, it is also high in saturated fats and sodium, especially when made with full-fat mayonnaise and highly salted cheeses. To make it lighter, substitutions like Greek yogurt or reduced-fat cheese can reduce its fat content without sacrificing flavor. Pimento Cheese Spread is an indulgent treat that can be balanced in moderation or adapted for a healthier twist.
