What it is

How people cook with it
This deli filler is perfect for quick meals and snacks. It can be used in a variety of ways to add flavor and substance to simple dishes.

To use, simply open the container and spoon the deli filler onto your chosen base. For sandwiches, spread it generously between slices of bread.
