If a new product shows up in the Trader Joe’s dip section, we’re probably going to buy it. TJ’s may fall short if you’re just doing your weekly shopping\u2014like, sorry, I require freshly sliced deli turkey<\/a> and brand-name toilet paper\u2014but if you’re shopping for a party, you’re golden. So many dips for chips<\/a>! So many spreads for crackers! So many greasy little frozen morsels<\/a> to gorge yourself on! Anyway, this new Tirokafteri (full name: Trader Joe’s Tirokafteri Spicy Greek 3-cheese Spread with Roasted Red Peppers) was a must-try for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re not familiar, tirokafteri is a spicy feta cheese-based concoction that can be used as a dip for pita, meats, or veggies. Maybe you’ve had it as part of a mezze platter or, hey, maybe you’ve never had it at all. We picked up the TJ’s version to see whether we’re freaks for this Greek condiment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m honestly not sure whether I’ve had tirokafteri in the past, even though I love cheese, I love peppers, and I love going to the annual Greek fest at my nearest Greek Orthodox church. But, wow, what a concept. Tangy feta mixed with roasty-tasting peppers and a touch of heat? I can’t imagine it’s too easy to screw up a combo that iconic, and I’m pleased to report that Trader Joe’s did not screw it up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their Tirokafteri is good<\/em>. You really get a perfect blend of feta and roasted red pepper, although it’s pretty light on heat for something labeled “spicy.” Also, it’s a bit loose\u2014roasted red peppers are liquidy, after all\u2014so it strikes me as more of a dip than a spread. But give me a tub of this and some pita chips<\/a>, and I’ll give your party extremely high marks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
