Cheese dip is a delicate, velvety sauce that perfectly complements snacks and hot dishes. Its origins trace back to Italian cuisine, known for its mastery in creating refined cheese sauces. The flavor of this dip harmoniously combines the creamy softness of 'Lambert' cheese, the slight acidity of white wine vinegar, and fresh citrus notes of lemon juice. It is ideal for dipping crispy bread, vegetables or crackers and pairs wonderfully with meat and fish dishes, enhancing their aroma. It is prepared using a water bath method which gives it a smooth, silky texture. Due to its versatility, cheese dip becomes the star of any feast, adding special sophistication and rich flavor to dishes.
