Castello whipped cheese voted best dip snack by consumers

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — One of the newest creations from Castello, Whipped Dips made from imported Danish cheese, earned a 2025 Product of the Year award in the dip snack category.

An Arla Foods brand, Castello said once its Whipped Dips debuted in spring of 2024, they became a popular choice for consumers who are “looking for clean label, better-for-you snacks that don’t compromise quality or flavor.”

Castello makes the cheese dips in three varieties: Garlic & Herb, Cracked Pepper, and Paprika & Chili.

Arla Foods brand manager Kevin Rider said Castello created Whipped Dips as an “elevated snacking” option.

“Winning Product of the Year reinforces our passion and commitment to creating an imported, premium whipped cheese dip with exceptional taste and fluffy texture that’s perfect for dipping your favorite crackers, chips, veggies and more,” Castello said. “We’re excited for more consumers to discover the joy of Castello Whipped Dips — whether entertaining guests or indulging in a delicious snack.”

In the United States, Product of the Year award winners are determined by the votes of 40,000 American consumers, with the help of market research company Kantar.

Mike Nolan, global chief executive officer of Product of the Year management, said award-winning products are chosen for the “unique value, quality and innovation” they bring to households.
