Forget the knife. Grab a spoon.

Food trends come and go, but pimento cheese never goes out of style, especially one that’s properly crafted with flavor. Proper Pepper is well bred with a pedigree of ingredients that have been carefully curated and are as impressive as its taste...just ask the 13 judges at the 2015 Flavor of Georgia contest. They chose Proper Pepper to be the winner over several other pimento cheeses, gelatos, yogurts, butters and other dairy products. In 2019, judges at the American Cheese Society’s national competition fell in love with Proper Pepper and I snagged a third place ribbon.

Our flagship ingredients are naturally aged white sharp Tillamook cheddar cheese and of course, no other than Duke’s mayonnaise. Proper Pepper adds a little culture to the sharp cheddar and pepper jack with cousin cottage, transforming this humble dish into a smooth spreading, calcium loaded, protein packed, rich dairy product ideal for any meal.

Crafting quality takes time and that’s why you will taste the difference between Proper Pepper and other brands. Proper Pepper Pimento Cheese is made in small batches, using a special micro-manufacturing technique that allows the batch maker to grate the cheese from a fresh block and blend the roasted red peppers with flavor that permeates each bite.

CRAFTED USING premium CHEESE

Proper Pepper’s Classic flavor embodies the word classic - pure, genuine, rich, creamy and something that will never go out of style. Just like my Frye boots, KitchenAid mixer, and a Coca-Cola. Flagship ingredients include white sharp Tillamook cheese that has been naturally aged and of course, the official binding agent, none other than another classic, Duke’s mayonnaise.

Proper Pepper’s Get Back Jack was a 2015 Flavor of Georgia winner. Its leading ingredient is Tillamook pepper jack cheese, Duke’s mayonnaise and an extra dose of jalapenos. Just as its name indicates, it has been judged to set back the palate with an explosion of taste, especially paired with a ginger snap.

Out of the tub or as an hors d’oeuvre

Making and serving pimento cheese has about as many variations as Thanksgiving dressing - but unlike dressing, pimento cheese easily transitions from breakfast to lunch to dinner, as well as an in-between meal snack.

Sure, you can make your own - but why go to the trouble? Save that time for your children or your favorite book. Proper Pepper makes life easier for busy families, non-cooks, and culinary savvy consumers. We are the proper society staple food item for young gourmets with limited cooking experience; older gourmets with limited time; and those who enjoy culinary grazing. The most proper and classic way to serve pimento cheese is between two pieces of fresh bread. Of course, many take the unconventional route and simply eat it by the spoonful.
