Spicy Pimento Cheese - Southern Cuisine Snack Seasoning

What is Pimento Cheese?

Pimento Cheese is a mix of cheese, pimentos, and mayonnaise, originally found in Southern Cuisine as a comfort food.

Pimento Cheese now has multiple variations - from changing the types of cheese and peppers. You’ll find cheddar, jack, or American with jalapenos or piquillos to transform this snack into a fusion blend.

Originally used as a dip or sandwich spread, you now find pimento cheeseburgers, pimento grilled cheese sandwiches, deep fried pimento cheese balls, and more. The Varsity, an Atlanta landmark, serves pimento cheese with chili on their hotdogs.

Pimento Cheese is no longer found just in the south - its popularity is expanding as well known chefs begin to highlight traditional southern dishes and trends in their menus. Now, it is common to see pimento cheese used in other cuisines.
