Ruiz Passionfruit and Mango Gourmet Spread

Taste

I'd never heard of "gourmet spread" before. Ruiz actually makes a range that includes chocolate and hazelnut, a bit like fresh Nutella really. I was curious so picked up this one to try. The serving suggestion is to spread it on toast, scones, pancakes or cakes. I found it a bit strange. It has the texture of a spread, is thicker than a dip, but tastes like a yoghurt. I thought it was a bit sweet and not really that suitable for its purpose. The chocolate is prob a good idea but I don't know about making a spread out of passionfruit and mango.

Look

It comes packaged like a dip, in a tub with foil and plastic seal. The spead itself looks kinda strange. white with a tinge of orange and with bits of passionfruti pulp sticking out.
