Oven-Baked Cheese: Dip Pairings

Dips You Can Pair with Each of Our Oven-Baked Cheeses

Italiano Oven-Baked Cheese

Marinara is the herald of cheese sauces, coming in clutch for nearly every cheese we offer. Robust, savory tomatoes and creamy, melty oven-baked cheese are a match made in cheese heaven. Pair store-bought marinara sauces with our Gardner’s Italiano Oven-Baked Cheese for a pizza party in your mouth. Our herbaceous Italiano cheese is sure to please with every bite. Eat it fried up in a skillet, grilled, or air fried, or try breading it for a tasty take on a “mozzarella” stick. If you’re looking for more substance in your cheese-based meal, why not add our Italiano cheese and a healthy serving of marinara onto a sub bun to make an Italian flavored grilled cheese sandwich. This cheese would also pair beautifully with ranch, homemade or store-bought.

Our Bacon Oven-Baked cheese uses real bacon to bring out the best of both worlds.

Chipotle Oven-Baked Cheese

Welcome to the wild side, if you like a little spice in your cheese, this is the flavor for you. Our Chipotle Oven-Baked Cheese is sure to change your mind on spice once you get a taste. This smoky, spicy cheese will shine with a pairing of marinara to complement the spiciness, or ranch, to counter the heat. Try it with a sweet salsa like Mango Habanero, or a carmelized onion jam to pair the sweet with the heat. Fully commit to the bit with a quick chipotle aioli or compliment the effects of the peppers with a savory garlic aioli. A creamy pineapple lime dipping sauce will bring out the smoky complexity of the pepper without overpowering the heat. For an extra dose of sweet heat, try with Mike’s Hot Honey!
