Whipped feta has taken the country by storm, but Stats Canada recently reported that 1-in-2 Canadians want convenient food choices that require less time in the kitchen. So what does this mean for our beloved whipped feta?
Enter Canada’s first-ever, ready-to-go whipped feta dips! Created by Canadian feta experts, Tre Stelle, these convenient dips deliver homemade taste and quality without all the whipping! So now we can put away the food processor and dip right into summer.
These dips come in two delicious nut-free flavours: Pesto and Roasted Red Pepper. Ideal for spreading on bagels and dipping with veggies, they’re made with 100% Canadian Dairy, high-quality ingredients and no artificial flavours. Of course – as that’s the Tre Stelle way!

Afterall, can one really have too much whipped feta in their life?
Tomato Crostini with Pesto Whipped Feta
Ingredients:
- 1 package Tre Stelle Pesto Whipped Feta
- 1 baguette, sliced ½ inch, toasted
- 1-2 shallots minced
- 1 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (or balsamic vinegar)
- 1 pound ripe cherry tomatoes, cut in quarters
- 2 tablespoons julienned fresh basil leaves, plus extra for serving
- 1-2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts, optional
Slice your baguette diagonally and set aside. Option to toast baguette lightly in a pan or in the oven for 3-5 minutes. Combine shallots, garlic, and balsamic vinegar in a medium bowl. Next whisk in olive oil, salt and black pepper. Add in tomatoes, stir and set aside for 10 minutes. Stir in the basil and taste for seasoning. To assemble the crostini, spread each slice of bread with a generous amount of Pesto Whipped Feta. With a slotted spoon, place the tomatoes on top. Put the crostini on plates and top with the pine nuts. Sprinkle with extra basil and serve.
Smoked Salmon & Roasted Red Pepper Whipped Feta Pinwheels
Ingredients:
- 2 burrito style spinach wraps (or can use any burrito size wrap)
- 4-6 ounces Tre Stelle Roasted Red Pepper Whipped Feta
- 2-3 cups spinach
- 4-6 ounces smoked salmon
Lay out both wraps and evenly spread the whipped feta onto each one, leaving about a half inch of room around the edges. Top your tortillas with spinach followed by the smoked salmon. Tightly roll up each wrap, tucking in the ends as you go. With a small serrated knife cut the edges off each wrap, and then cut each one into ½ inch rounds. Assemble as-is or stick a toothpick into each pinwheel to serve.
