A Definitive Ranking of Cedar’s Foods’ Tasty Hommus and Feta Dips

Ever since we first tasted Cedar's Foods' delicious hommus (yes, spelled with an "O"), we've been positively hooked.

The brand is all about making high-quality Meditteranean classics, made using traditional processes with pure, simple and tasty ingredients, with an emphasis on dips, and their dedication to their craft shows. Recently, the folks behind the brand gave us a chance to try out an incredible assortment of their fan-favorite hommus flavors and new feta dips, and we ranked them all from good to absolutely favorite below.

10. Kalamata Olive Feta Dip

We'll come out and say it—as folks who've never liked olives, we're absolutely biased against this flavor. Still, while we expected to hate it, it was still surprisingly tasty. The sharpness of the feta pairs surprisingly well with the briny, slightly vinegary taste of black olive to create something authentically Mediterranean. If you're an olive lover, we wouldn't be shocked if this is your favorite, but we just can't deal with the bitterness that lingers on our tongues after each bite.

9. Organic Original Hommus

For us, it's a big step up in quality to the Organic Original Hommus. Cedar's hommus flavors really allow the natural flavor of the chickpeas to shine, with tahini, garlic and cumin accenting the flavor, making this an awesome neutral flavor. The only reason it ranks this low is that it's a bit basic, and there's so much more yummy stuff to come.

8. Dark Chocolate Hommus

This was a tough one to rank because it's difficult to compare it to anything else. Dark Chocolate Hommus may sound weird, but it's got a texture like a thick mousse, paired with an indulgent dark chocolate flavor that's delicious on everything from pretzels to fruit slices. There's also something about it that tastes healthy, but that's always a win in our books.

7. Feta Dip

We imagine that Cedar's Feta Dips will be divisive, because their flavors are quite strong. Still, while we only like a tiny sprinkling of feta on our salads, so we were shocked to find out how tasty this rich, creamy dip was. It's more of a cream cheese dip, accented with the boldness of real feta, making it shockingly versatile. We've even tried it in pasta with balsamic vinegar for a deliciously punchy addition.

6. Organic Hot Honey Hommus

Cedar's hommus is even better with tasty additions mixed in, starting with their Organic Hot Honey Hommus. This flavor adds chili pepper and honey for a dose of sweet heat that we loved pairing with sweet veggies and chips. The fact that the hot honey serves as a topping (rather than being mixed in) also meant we could get precisely the amount we wanted with every scoop—perfect for sharing with people with different heat tolerances and flavor preferences.

5. Organic Everything Hommus

We're suckers for everything bagels, and this Organic Everything Hommus takes the sesame seeds, onion, poppy seeds, garlic and pepper we love on a bagel and throws it in for additional crunch and flavor in every bite. We were surprised at how much the choice of seasonings elevated the hommus. Unlike the hot honey, though, we wished there were way more of the toppings here, since each bite without a mouthful of the seasoning just wasn't quite the same.

4. Organic Pesto Hommus

We could eat pesto every day—and we did with Cedar's Organic Pesto Hommus, until the whole tub was gone. It adds a tasty blend of basil, parsley and garlic to the classic hommus for that fresh, salty and herbaceous flavor. But again, we could have done with even more pesto to make this flavor pack even more punch.

3. Organic Roasted Red Pepper Hommus

Roasted Red Pepper Hommus never lets us down—especially with Cedar's. They've nailed the classic hommus flavor, using real roasted peppers to add sweetness and just a hint of heat, mellowing out the hommus overall and making it the ultimate flavor for dipping and dolloping on sandwiches and more. Also, we didn't have to worry about rationing a topping, because this tasty flavor has the pepper thoroughly mixed throughout.

2. Garlic & Chive Feta Dip

We're back to feta dips, because two of Cedar's feta offerings wound up being our very favorites of the bunch. This Garlic & Chive Feta Dip was absolutely delicious, with the perfect amount of aromatics to take the edge off of the sharp, tangy feta. It has everything it takes to be a fan-favorite party dip, while also serving as an elevated topping, truly making it the best of both worlds.

1. Spicy Pepper Feta Dip

But even more than the Garlic & Chive Feta Dip, we're obsessed with the Spicy Pepper Feta Dip. It's got some heat without being too spicy, feeling packed with flavor instead thanks to the addition of roasted red peppers and jalapeño, creating an even greater balance with the boldness of the feta to create something truly magical. Once we opened it up, this dip was gone within the hour.
