Jalapeno Pimento Cheese - Birdies

Jalapeno Pimento Cheese - Birdies

Birdie's makes its pimento cheese in Southern Virginia, and this jalapeno version keeps the creamy, tangy spread you know with a clean green heat running through it. It is the kind of thing that turns a bare fridge and a box of crackers into something worth sitting down for.

Why you'll love it

• Green heat — jalapeno gives a fresh, building warmth rather than a blunt burn, so the cheese still comes through.
• Southern made — made in Southern Virginia by a small producer rather than a national brand.
• Creamy body — soft enough to spread straight from the tub, thick enough to hold a scoop on a chip.
• Keep it cold — a cold hold product that needs to stay below 41 degrees, with a sell by date stamped on the bottom of each container.
• Six week window — a six week shelf life from the batch, so it keeps through several rounds of guests.

How to enjoy Spread it on crackers or celery, scoop it onto corn chips or tortilla chips, work it into mashed yolks for deviled eggs, stir a spoonful into grits, or slather it on a burger or hot dog.

A tub to keep in the fridge for the nights when dinner needs to be five minutes and a little bit Southern.
