What is Organic Valley?

My family has been buying Organic Valley products since I was a wee little child - no jokes. They're that amazing! Organic Valley is an organic food brand and independent cooperative of organic farmers based in La Farge, Wisconsin, United States. Founded in 1988, Organic Valley is the nation’s largest farmer-owned organic cooperative and one of the world's largest organic consumer brands.

What makes Organic Valley different from other dairy brands?

The reason I use Organic Valley in my everyday cooking is because their dairy products add nutrition AND flavor to my dishes without antibiotics, synthetic hormones, toxic pesticides, nor GMOS. 🙌

I also love how Organic Valley works with small organic family farmers instead of being a single large dairy producer.

How to Prep this Appetizer in Advance:

One of the key components in hosting dinner parties is knowing how to strategize with 'Make Ahead' recipes. This dip can be made 1-2 days in a advance. When ready to reheat, cover the oven-safe baking dish with foil to bake at 350F covered for 15 minutes, then uncovered for 5 minutes, or until warmed through. The crostini is best made within 30 minutes of serving, otherwise they can become stale.
