Copperpot Chunkies Dip


Taste

I'm a fan of Copperpot's double dips. So this time I tried the Hommus with kalamata & Cashews - a drier hommus with heavenly pieces of olives and small chunks of cashews. The olives were fresh and added the sour and salty texture to the dip. I also tried the Moroccan Hommus with cashew - again a drier hommus with similar pieces of cashews adding great texture and blended well with the chickpeas. The Moroccan spices added a subtle sweet and spicy kick that elevated this above other hommus.

Rating - Kalamata -8, Moroccan - 7.5

Look

They went for a very fun packaging instead of the classy look. Through the clear plastic container you can see the vivid colour of the dip. There are no artificial colour use so the colour is not very appealing. But you eat this for the taste and not the look right?

C-factor

200g $4.30. More expensive than others, but then again, I think this is better than others.
