Natural Food Company responds to consumers request for an all-natural snack alternative

RYE, N.H.-- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Turtledove Pesto Company, LLC is now offering customers a delicious alternative to the many unhealthy dips in the marketplace. Turtledove Pesto Dips are all-natural, trans fat free, bursting with pesto flavor and ready to serve from the pantry.

Julie Lapham is a chef and founder of her home spun business, Turtledove Pesto Company, LLC. In the early 1990’s it was impossible buy a pesto like Turtledove’s — not only all-natural, but delicious to distraction. With two young boys, Julie prepared pesto in her home kitchen for local restaurants. At the request of her many friends and customers, in 1994 she put her delicious pestos in jars to sell at specialty stores. Today, each of the Turtledove Pesto jars has some of the most popular recipes created by chefs from far and wide, including recipes from Robert Lafond, winner of the American Culinary Federation’s 1999 Chef of the Year Award; Paul Mutrie, chef and owner of the Mountain View Restaurant; and many others.

“I’m passionate about the ingredients that go into my Pestos and Pesto Dips; fresh herbs, vegetables, sweet cream butter, and the time honored process I follow in preparing small batches by hand, I never will sacrifice quality to make a less expensive Pesto or Pesto Dip” states Lapham.

Pesto Dips start with Turtledove Pesto, then whipped with fresh cream to create a new, all-natural, delicious dip and spread. Just pop the top and dip vegetables, breadsticks, bread or crackers into any of Turtledove’s three new delicious Pesto Dips; Savory Basil Garlic Pesto Dip, Sweet Roasted Pepper Pesto Dip, or Sassy Cilantro Garlic Pesto Dip. They are also great for jazzing up your favorite sandwich or for dressing any salad. And, most importantly, they are a healthy snack alternative for your kids. Pesto Dips are packaged in a unique keep sake jar, making them great gift basket and party platter additions.

Turtledove Pesto and Pesto Dips are available in retail markets throughout the East Coast from Maine to Florida, and nationally through online retailer, www.thefreshmarket.com. Turtledove Pesto Company, LLC is a certified woman owned business by the WBENC.
