Whipped Ricotta and Feta Dip

A whole new way to celebrate feta, our Ricotta and Feta Dip is a creamy calcium-rich companion for crudités, crackers, crusty sourdough and more. Each serve delivers the same amount of calcium as a small glass of milk for strong bones and teeth, healthy muscle contractions and a regular heart beat. With extra virgin olive oil, almonds and pistachios whipped through, this dip is brimming with flavour, crunch, antioxidants and heart healthy fats.
