Costco is selling the Spinach Artichoke & Parmesan Dip from La Terra Fina and it is spectacular. This dip is hard to resist and doesn’t last long at my house so I have to exercise some self control and only buy it for special occasions.
Overall Review
The Spinach Artichoke Dip from La Terra Fina tastes great and is highly versatile but it does have some drawbacks.
On the Positive Side
- Tastes Great
- Nice Chunks of Artichoke
- Good Value
On the Negative Side
- Container Size is Overwhelming Leading to Waste
- High Calorie Food
- Short Storage Life
Summary
The Spinach Artichoke Dip tastes great but I usually can’t finish the massive container. I am happy to buy the dip for special occasions but this is not a standard item I keep in my refrigerator.
Serving Suggestions
The Spinach Artichoke dip is extremely versatile and can be used in a lot of ways.
For simple snacking you simply can’t beat dipping in with a hearty whole grain crackers. This combination layers savory and creamy on top of a layer of savory and crunchy and it is amazing.
The dip also makes a great sandwich spread as it is really just a big pile of seasoned cream cheese and mayo. I checked out the La Terra Fina website and found they have some great recipes that use this dip as a key ingredient. Some of the tasty recipes include:
- Loaded Potato Skins
- Florentine Bread
- Stuffed Mushrooms
- Baked Pasta Shells
- Au Gratin Potatoes
Here is the link to the page where you can find the full list of recipes.
You could also add the dip on top of the La Terra Fina quiche from Costco for a great combination.
The dip will keep in the refrigerator for five days after opening and should not be stored in the freezer. If serving as a dip then it works great either cold, straight from the fridge, or warm after being heated in the microwave.

Dave,
I love this Dip & have no problem finishing a tub. Problem is I live in FL, but spending the summer in Spokane WA. Hit town, went to Costco & bought what ai thought was my Dip. NO! It’s made with Greek yogurt, not nearly as good. OMG is this the new standard everywhere?
