Ithaca Hummus and Grillo's Pickles Debut Bold Dill-icious Pickle Hummus, Elevating Summer BBQs Everywhere

Leading cold-crafted hummus brand teams up with Grillo's Pickles to create the first ever co-branded dill pickle hummus packed with bold, pickle flavor

ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ithaca Hummus, restaurant-quality, fresh ingredient hummus brand, is announcing a fresh twist to its beloved hummus lineup with its newest limited-time-offer launch, Ithaca Grillo's Pickles Hummus. In collaboration with the all-natural, always fresh, refrigerated pickle brand, Grillo's Pickles, this new launch delivers an iconic and delicious dill-forward flavor to consumers – just in time for summer grilling season.

Available for a limited time, this first co-branded pickle hummus blends Grillo's Pickles' clean and simple signature dill flavor with Ithaca's distinctive cold-crafted hummus, for a new, bold summer go-to spread. This curiously crisp, fresh flavor unites two fan-favorite brands for an unexpected twist to dress up popular summer meals. The next condiment to take over BBQs this summer, Ithaca Grillo's Pickles Hummus amplifies any burger or hot dog with a refreshing, pickle-forward bite and brings a kick of dill when topped on sandwiches and dipped with crudité.

"We're always looking to push the boundaries and reinvigorate growth within the hummus category with innovative flavors, while also giving our fans something deliciously bold to snack on," said Chris Kirby, Founder and CEO of Ithaca Hummus. "Grillo's commitment to using fresh ingredients perfectly aligns with Ithaca's brand ethos and allows us to continue to provide our fans with an ultimate hummus option that packs intense flavor with every bite—making this collaboration a no-brainer. What better way to celebrate grilling season than with a tangy, dill pickle flavored hummus as the quintessential barbeque must-have? We're looking forward to seeing fans taste this unbelievable collab and how they put their own spin on enjoying it."

"This collaboration is a fresh way to add that great Grillo's flavor to your summer plates," said Eddie Andre, Director of Brand Experience, Grillo's Pickles.
