Southern Pimento Cheese – Two 10 oz Tubs

In The Curious Kitchen was founded in 2020 by MK Hennigan and is based in Fort Thomas, Kentucky. She left a corporate career to build a food business inspired by family recipes and Southern hospitality. Her grandmother taught her to make pimento cheese, while her mother and grandmothers shaped her love of welcoming people to the table. The company carries those traditions into small-batch foods made for sharing, gifting and everyday entertaining.

Southern Pimento Cheese – Two 10 oz Tubs

Southern Pimento Cheese is based on the North Carolina family recipe MK Hennigan learned from her grandmother, and the product is made in Kentucky. It combines cheddar cheeses, mayonnaise, pimientos and seasonings in a creamy spread. Each order contains two 10-ounce tubs. The two-pack lets you portion one for a gathering while keeping the second tub refrigerated.

Choose the original pimento cheese when you want the family-recipe spread without the pickled jalapeños of the spicy version. The label declares milk, eggs and soy. Pimientos provide a sweet pepper note, while the seasonings include hot sauce and black pepper. This is a perishable cheese spread, so plan delivery when someone can receive the package and refrigerate it promptly.

Flavor, Pairings and Serving

Serve it with crackers, celery or toasted baguette, spread it inside a sandwich, or use it in a grilled cheese. The maker also suggests burgers and baked potatoes as savory pairings. For a simple appetizer, spoon a small amount into a bowl and offer dippers alongside it. Crackers, vegetables, bread and tableware shown in the photographs are serving ideas rather than included products.

• Flavor: Sharp cheddar, pimientos and mild spice.
• Included: Two 10 oz (284 g) tubs; 20 oz total.
