Hot Tomato Summer Zesty Cheese Spread

As Seen on Virginia This Morning:
Our Signature Cheese Dip!

Bring the Heat to Your Summer Table! Our Hot Tomato Summer Zesty Cheese Spread is bold, creamy, and bursting with flavor, thanks to tangy Duke’s mayo, pepper jack cheese, and a kick of cayenne or Tajín.

Perfect for crackers, crostini, or veggies, this crowd-pleaser is summer snacking at its best. Make ahead and keep it chilled, if it lasts that long!
