Few ingredients check all those boxes quite like pimento cheese. At Chairmans Foods, our 5 lb pimento cheese items are designed to help foodservice operators, caterers, and retail delis streamline prep, elevate seasonal dishes, and give customers the warm, nostalgic flavors they crave this time of year.
Available in Original, Jalapeño, and Buffalo Style Chicken Dip, each variety offers consistent performance across sandwiches, dips, spreads, hot entrées, prepared foods, and large-scale catering.

Comfort-Forward Menu Ideas for the Holidays
The holidays are the perfect time to lean into cozy, familiar flavors—and pimento cheese delivers that comforting richness diners love. Here are a few high-impact ways chefs and deli operators can work our pimento cheese into seasonal menus:
1. Elevated Party Dips & Appetizers
Ready in minutes and built for volume, our pimento cheese varieties create high-value, low-labor appetizers during peak catering season.
- Original Pimento Cheese is perfect for classic holiday dip flights with crackers, crudités, or warm pretzels.
- Jalapeño Pimento Cheese adds a festive kick to crostini, stuffed mushrooms, or jalapeño poppers.
- Buffalo Style Chicken Dip is ideal for football-season spreads, tailgates, and cold-weather gatherings.
These options help operators serve memorable appetizers without tying up kitchen staff during the busiest months of the year.
2. Premium Sandwiches & Melts
Pimento cheese melts beautifully and brings rich texture to hearty winter sandwiches. Spread it on toasted sourdough with smoked turkey, layer it into holiday ham paninis, or use it as the base for a signature grilled cheese that stands out on any winter menu.
- Original pairs well with roasted meats and seasonal chutneys.
- Jalapeño elevates fried chicken sandwiches with spicy warmth.
- Buffalo Style Chicken Dip delivers a creamy heat that customers crave during cold weather.
3. Warm Seasonal Entrées
Few dishes say “holiday comfort” like baked and au gratin items. Mix our pimento cheese varieties into:
- Mac and cheese bakes
- Scalloped potato casseroles
- Stuffed chicken breasts
- Holiday vegetable gratins
- Pimento cheese mashed potatoes for a modern Southern twist
Because our products are designed for even heating and dependable consistency, they hold up beautifully on buffets, steam tables, and catering trays.
