This weekend marks one of the biggest food holidays of the year – the Super Bowl.
Whether you could care less about the game, or have been personally victimized by Tom Brady for the last two decades, snacking during the Super Bowl is no doubt, one of the great American pastimes.
You may be wondering, who is ROB and why is this dip named after him. Well, there is no Rob. (besides the lovable Gronk) R.O.B. stands for Ranch, Onion, and Blue Cheese.
This combines all the flavors of Ranch dip, caramelized onion dip, and blue cheese dip. All the best Super Bowl Dips, mixed together into one, glorious spread. Go Team!
We love all the products from Bellwether Farms, and the crème fraîche is no exception. Creamy, tangy, and luscious, it is the perfect upgrade from sour cream.
Gorgonzola Dolce is a very mild and creamy blue cheese from Italy. If your crowd is looking for a more pungent and flavorful blue, feel free to go with something stronger. Opt for a cheese that’s more creamy than dry. The lovely mongers behind the counter will be more than happy to find a great fit for you.
This dip is a bit thick. So if you are looking for a more loose and creamy dip, add some buttermilk to thin out.
Happy dipping and Yay Sports!
