Time to Serve!

This dip will be a hit at any party, but make sure you don't skimp on the olive oil. We recommend serving this creamy olive feta dip with warm crusty bread or crostini to dip.

Although this dip can technically be made with any olive oil, we HIGHLY suggest using our Terra Verde Extra Virgin Olive Oil. What makes it different? This oil is a varietal blend of Arbequina, Mission and Pendolino olives, which together yield this uniquely fruity and complex extra virgin olive oil.
