This cheesy and flavorful dip is a crowd favorite, and it pairs perfectly with champagne or Prosecco. We've added our special blend of spices, including oregano, Romano cheese powder, and Aleppo pepper, to give it a unique and delicious taste.

We recommend Prosecco, a bright and affordable sparkling wine that is perfect for ringing in the new year.
