I have gotten a lot of feedback on my post about Mo’s Smoked Gouda dip from Whole Foods. As Grace pointed out in her comment posted in November, Whole Foods has since dropped the name “Mo’s” and relabeled the product (hot or mild) Smoked Gouda Dip. The recipe has slightly changed as well. It’s a subtle change, but it’s definitely different. Still good, just different. My husband and I ate a fair amount of the original Mo’s dip so I feel confident stating that there has been a change…I wonder if the name and recipe change is because the original Mo realized that he was onto something and is going to be marketing his version? Only time will tell….
In my original post, I mentioned that I was going to try to make my own version. I did try but the results were just ok…I will try again. If anyone else has been successful in making their own version, I would love to hear from you!
Still like the original better. Don't know what they did to the formula, but it's the whole New Coke/Old Coke thing all over again. Shame.
The guy that makes the chesse spread works at the store in El Segundo. His hasn't changed. I've been eating it for years also. It's by far my favorite. If you are buying it from any other Whole Foods, it isn't his. It is made by a food manufacturer. That might be a reason you taste a difference. Go to the El Segundo store. He works there. Talk to him. He does other cheese stuff on the side he will sell you.
Awww…good to know! Thanks Anonymous!
