T. Marzetti Review and Giveaway

Veggies are delicious on their own (although not everyone will agree with me!) but sometimes you want to jazz them up even more. A great dip or dipping sauce kicks up the flavor and makes you go MMM! This is what Marzetti is all about, making you say YUM!



The T. Marzetti Company is the specialty food group of the Lancaster Colony Corporation. T. Marzetti produces a long list of salad dressings, fruit and vegetable dips, frozen baked goods and specialty brand items. I've tried some of the salad dressings before and they are fabulous!

There's a new product in the T. Marzetti family, and I have been able to try it! I was sent two Otria Greek veggie yogurt dips to review. I received Cucumber Dill Feta and Salsa Cilantro.
(Brings together the zest of ripe tomatoes, onions, jalapeno peppers and a touch of cilantro to add flair to any veggie.)

(Blends crisp cucumber, finely chopped dill and crumbles of feta cheese to turn ordinary snacks into an uplifting experience.)

I've had Greek yogurt before but never Greek yogurt veggie dip so I was interested in trying something new.

The Cucumber Dill Feta was awesome and by far my favorite. I had raw broccoli with the dip. The cucumber gives the dip a cool, refreshing taste. The dill is fragrant and very noticeable in taste, and the feta gives the dip a nice hint of cheesy flavor. Each flavor was subtle but you're still able to distinguish each flavor individually when consumed. I wouldn't think that these flavors would necessarily work well together but when combined they are awesome! The dip is thick, much like greek yogurt normally is. It is very creamy too. It blanketed my broccoli generously with delicious flavor and really helped to transform it into a fabulous snack. This would be perfect for a cool and creamy summer treat paired with your favorite vegetables.

The Salsa Cilantro was good but a little too spicy for me. I'm not a fan of spicy dips so I probably wouldn't normally purchase this one. The dip was extremely flavorful with the essence of tomatoes being very noticeable. I used carrots with the dip. The jalapeno really gives the dip a great pop of spice that I know people will enjoy and love. The cilantro is generously added in this dip and gives it a hint of spiciness too. I think this would be great to use for any Mexican cooking you might do. How about being creative and adding it a generous layer to your favorite burrito or quesadilla recipes? I think you'll love it!
