How did we test this?

We tasted the spread as it, to gauge the true flavor and texture. Then we applied it on untoasted bread slices to compare the differences in flavor and texture, if any. 

Aroma + Appearance

The spread had a yellow-orange hue and we could see tons of bits and pieces. These were of red bell peppers, zucchini bits, and jalapenos as well. 

On opening the jar, we were hit with a robust aroma of garlic. 

Taste + Texture

DELIGHTFUL! This spread added tons of flavor almost instantly. It showcased a nice balance between spice and salt. Neither of them were overpowering. The heat was from jalapenos that tasted fresh and desirable. We really liked the warmth garlic added. 

PS- on tasting it as is, the salt was just a notch higher than we’d like, however, on bread slices, it tasted fine. 

As for the texture, this was seamless. It was rich, creamy and could be easily spread over bread slices. The veggie bits are added generously and give a wonderful textural variation to an otherwise creamy spread.
