The holiday entertaining season is upon us, and everybody needs some fresh recipes to add to their repertoire. Chef Magnus and the team have put together a collection of dips that are both delicious and delightfully easy to whip up. These recipes are perfect, whether you're opening your doors for a festive gathering or needing something scrumptious to take an office party or family event.
A quick tip: Don't forget the wine! These dips are best paired with white wine to kick off the celebrations.
Chef-Curated Dips Featuring Clif Family Organic Ingredients
Rich Bagna Cauda with Rosemary Almonds
Prepare to WOW your holiday visitors with this rich and flavorful dish. It's simple to make but massively over-delivers on taste. This is Chef Magnus' favorite dip on rotation right now, and it makes for a super fun presentation when served warm in a fondue pot. Ready your crunchy crackers, crusty bread or an array of fresh veggies for dipping. The secret? It uses Clif Family's Organic Rosemary Roasted Almonds & Pistachios along with Clif Family Organic EVOO.

Craving something cozy and packed with flavor? This warm spinach and artichoke dip is about to become your new go-to for any gathering or chill night in. It's creamy, cheesy and oh-so-delicious, thanks to a special touch of Clif Family's Somm Seasoning for White Wines. This seasoning blend, crafted in collaboration with Burlap & Barrel, elevates the bright, fresh notes of your favorite white wines. Pair this dip with a crisp glass of Clif Family wine to complement the flavors perfectly. Ready to dig in?

Homemade Savory Onion Dip with Organic Onion Jam
Great flavor begins with great ingredients, and ours starts on the farm. Our Savory Onion Dip showcases Clif Family's Organic Savory Onion Jam, crafted from onions grown by our farm team at our certified organic Napa Valley Farm. In our Organic Preserves Kitchen, Preserve Maker, Dulce Noonan, slowly caramelizes the onions for over three hours to unlock their deep, rich sweetness. Blended into a creamy, tangy base, the jam transforms this dip into something truly special. A favorite among our team and Wine club members alike.

Sweet & Spicy Red Pepper Jam Pimento Cheese
We make our Organic Red Pepper Jam in small batches in our Organic Farm Kitchen, using peppers grown organically just a few miles away at the Clif Family Farm. Small batches mean bigger flavor - sweet, a little spicy, and completely delicious. Chef Magnus likes to pair a glass of Clif Family Viognier with this recipe. The wine's juicy stone-fruit flavors play nicely with the peppery sweetness, and its freshness keeps things from getting too rich. It's the pairing that keeps you coming back for "just one more bite".
