Va-Va Vagetable spreads

Some of the best vegetables in the world are grown in the Balkan region of Europe. Using this resource, we have come up with some of the healthiest, best and most tasty vegetable spreads on the market today.

Perfect as a side dish, topping, hours d'oeuvre, condiment, or on their own, these vegetable spreads have a flavor so unique that, in this case, tasting will be believing.

Our Va-Va vegetable spreads are 100% all natural, with zero artificial preservatives, thickeners, or colors. We add no meat products, glutens, or nuts; making these products not only vegetarian but vegan-friendly, as well.

Some of our favorite uses for our spreads are heated as a topping with a thick pasta (like rigatoni or especially tri-color), used as a dressing with leafy greens, spread on a hamburger with onion and pickles, as a side dish with grilled chicken and rice, or, failing all that, on a spoon right out of the jar!
