The El Segundo Whole Foods has this fabulous product called Mo's Smoked Gouda Dip. Victor and I think it's limited to that store as we have looked for it at other Whole Foods to no avail. The package pictured above is the Mild but they also produce a spicy version as well (which I prefer...I didn't know that I had picked up the mild until I got home). The dip is made up of chopped gouda, mayo, cream cheese, green onions, cilantro, jalapeno peppers and black pepper. Smoked gouda itself has an interesting flavor. I would describe as a mild to semi-sharp cheese with a smoked flavor and creamy texture. The green onions, jalapenos and black pepper add some kick while the the cream cheese and mayo provide a hint of sourness in addition to acting as a binding agent to make it a proper dip. Since the dip has a lot of flavors going on, we serve it with plain crackers or homemade tostadas (which is sticking out of the dip in the top picture). At $10.99 a pound, this is not something we buy every week...but it is a good weekend treat. I am going to try to make my own version in a few weeks....

Just wondering if you ever tried to make it yourself, my husband and I are wanting to do the same.
I'm glad to know it's not a one-time item... I bought quite a bit of it last night and it's half gone!
