Review of 'Fontaine Sante' Cocktail Greek Olive

Fontaine Sante -- Cocktail Greek Olive (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: Talk about flavour! This is an intense, tart olive flavour that I absolutely love. The texture is creamy and smooth and I can't describe to you just how authentic the olive flavour is. I will definitely be buying this again.

Where to buy: Freshco, Sobeys, Costco, Metro, Loblaws, Rabba

These ingredients are simple and clean. What's more, the nutritional profile actually lists the values of the healthy fats that normally aren't present (e.g. poly- and mono-unsaturated). Not only is this hummus a great source of healthy fats, it's cholesterol-free, low-cal, and low-sodium.

I can't get enough of this hummus. I keep trying to think of all the different ways I can enjoy it in a single day! I noted the inclusion of 'japapeno puree' in the ingredients, but it wasn't at all spicy. I can't help but fantasize about how good it would be if they put a wee bit more of the japapenos! I'm looking forward to trying the 'Hummus Cocktail Roasted Jalapenos' mmmm

You *need* to try this if you're a hummus fan. If you've never had hummus and you're an olive fan, then make this your first taste of hummus -- you shant be disappointed.
