I don't know what your experience is, but mine taste better after it has set for a day. Weird, but the ingredients need time to meld.

Uhhh...what?
All you need.
That's good. Second best store bought I've had behind the old Winn Dixie Palmetto Farms pimento cheese. Man, I'd love to have some of that stuff. All the WDs around here closed years ago. About 12 years ago I was in LaGrange, GA. There were still some WDs there. I literally bought out their stock of the pimento cheese only to discover later that it wasn't the same that I grew up with. Apparently, they changed the recipe. Really screwed it up.
The best pimento cheese involves making homemade mayonnaise first. It is light years better than any pimento cheese made with store-bought mayonnaise.
I usually like to mix a healthy portion of MiraLAX in my homemade pimento cheese.
Well this is just cruel then.
Worcestershire Sauce is what a lot of pimento and cheese is usually missing. Almost all creamy or melted cheese dishes with English/Scot/Irish Origns call for it. The umami it brings balances and livens up almost every cheese dish. This goes for grilled cheese, fondues, and all sorts of cheese dips and balls.
All you need.
If you're going to store buy it, the only one to consider is My Three Sons Spicy White Cheddar.
I have.
I grew up on homemade mayonnaise. My mom always made it for the house and we never kept store-bought. Because of this, I think that store bought generally has too much sugar in it (homemade has none). I’m not challenging others’ tastes, I’m just saying that you shouldn’t knock it until you try it.
Edit: As many in the foregoing have said, apparently Duke’s has no sugar. I still think homemade is better.

I’ve always thought that @AlchemyDawg186’s wife’s pimento cheese and biscuits were the best
.
Please! I’ll make all report back the winner....and fill my belly with some good spread in the meantime
Agree with everything you said but will note that Dukes doesn’t have any sugar in it.
I make my own for mayo important dishes like crab or shrimp rolls....duke for everyday use.
Only for my brethren.....
2 Cups cheddar (mild or sharp depending on your taste buds)
2 Cups Colby Jack
1 Cup Smoked Gouda
8 oz softened cream cheese (add more if desired)
2-4 oz dijon mustard
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
Finely chopped jalapeño to taste
4 oz pimentos
Mayo to taste or desired consistency
Pepper, Lowerys seasoned salt (paprika, cayenne if desired)
You can take a cup from the batch and add bacon and red pepper jelly for a totally different taste.
I've won several competitions with this recipe and you can add it to a macaroni and cheese recipe to take it to a new level.
Just giving you a hard time. Never had homemade mayo. It was a dukes house growing up here in NC .
The best pimento cheese in the history of the world is only available to the common man the first full week of April each year
You are cold blooded, brah.
I’ve never understood the idea of not sharing a recipe. Now if you own a restaurant, I totally get that. But I smoke meat and am always trying new things in the kitchen and when I really hit something just right I can’t wait to share it with people. Really bottles the mind to think people would want to keep something like that to themselves
Absolutely, hands down the best that you can purchase is Proper Pepper Pimento Cheese. It's growing in popularity and availability - I believe that Striplings now carries it. Several groceries also have it - there are classic and jalapeno versions. But hey, don't just take my word on it, let's ask the resident food expert @Russ Tanner . I am confident that he will agree - and who on this forum knows food better than Russ! By the way, this is a Georgia product. This stuff is really good!
