   I’ve been looking everywhere locally for the Kraft jars of cheese spread (specifically, Pimento and Olive-Pimento)that I need for a special cheeseball I make for the holidays. I’ve only found the Old English and Pineapple. Please advise where I can find these.

   I too have trouble finding the Kraft Olive-Pimento cheese spread in the 5 oz jars. It seems to be more easily found around Christmas, but I would like it throughout the year. I’ve even tried to find a recipe for it using Kraft cream cheese, but have not had any luck with that either.

   To show how desparate, I’ve asked the Managers at various local supermarkets to either carry it or order some for me. I guess they need to have a lot of people buy it so it becomes a profitable product.

   Good lluck in your quest.

   I have been able to on occasion find these things for my husband at Kroger (at the end of the aisles) and I recently learned that they stock them well at Ingles. Not sure if you have any of these in Chattanooga as I am in Knoxville. Good luck.

   Add me to the list of those who have recently been unable to find the Olive Pimento. I had been able to find it at three chains (Stater Brothers, Albertsons and the Vons larger stores) Starting about mid-March, I have been unable to find it at any of these chains. Since then, I have used Pimento Spread and have gotten used to it and will try Pineapple Spread, but I would still prefer Olive Pimento. Please answer these questions. (Yes. I know that a “No.” makes the following questions pointless.) Do you still make it? Is it still marketed in Southern California? Where can I get it now?
   Thank you,

   Well, from what I can tell, you can still find it around, but if you can’t find it when you go out to the store, why not let it come to you? I found you can buy it online easily, like right here:

   This is just one example (and the first that popped up) Hope that helps!

   I, too, have been having difficulty finding Olive-
   Pimento Spread. Over abundance of “Olde English”
   and “Pineapple”. Sometimes the stores will have Pimento. We love as a snack on Ritz crackers, my
   son likes it on celery. WHY don’t the stores carry
   the line?

   I would like to purchase Kraft Olive Pimento Cheese spread. Is it available to purchase on-line? If you still make it, we should be able to purchase it but how and where?

   You can use the product locator here http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/Products/ProductInfoDisplay.aspx?SiteId=1&Product=2100061259

   I have been looking for Kraft Olive & Pimento Cheese Spread. It has been a favorite of mine and my family for over 50 years. I cannot find it in any of the local stores–HyVee and Wal-Mart. I hope you get enough people looking for it to continue to make it.
   Nothing else tastes the same.

    Just checked the Kraft Foods website. Apparently, the Olive & Pimento Cheese Spread has beed discontinued. I AM SO BUMMED OUT!!!!!!

    I can’t find the Olive and pimento Cream cheese. I shop at Publix in Florida and they say you don’t make it anymore.

    I too have been looking for the Olive and pimento cream cheese. Why would you discontinue it when you have so many requests for it? I’ve been buying it for 20 years plus. I think you need to think about putting it back on the market.

13. by Diane, on August 25 2009 @ 4:30 pm

    

    I and my parents have been looking all over for olive & pimento Kraft spread. Please start making it again!!!

14. by Marilyn G. Brown, on October 8 2009 @ 7:26 pm

    

    PLEASE, PLEASE start making olive pimento spread again…No other product comes even close to it.

15. by Sue Wilkirson, on October 20 2009 @ 1:12 pm

    

    Did you ask ANYONE if they wanted to continue Olive Pimento Cheese Spread? Obviously NOT! I’ve NEVER bought Old English, Pineapple, or just Pimento. ONLY Olive Pimento. Do you notice a trend here? We all beg, and Kraft says ZILCH!

    I just found out through Kraft foods that they have discontinued the olive and pimento cheese spread. We have used this for every holiday since I was a little girl and they said because of low sales, they have decided to discontinue this item. I am so mad and would love to know if anyone has a recipe that comes close to this item.

    please call kraft to complain and maybe we will get it back!!!!

    I, too, have enjoyed this product since childhood (in the 60s). No other product comes close. I have hunted all over the southeast, with no luck. The title may scare people off (olives? AND pimento?), but once you try it, it definitely becomes a favorite. I hope enough people request it that it makes a comeback! It’s one of my comfort foods.

    I am 44 years old and my family has used Olive & Pimento spread every thanksgiving since before I was born. I can’t believe they discontinued this item. I’m very upset. Please bring it back!?!?!?!?!

    I am 66 years old & as far back as I can remember my family has used OLIVE PIMENTO Spread for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter & several other times a year. I CAN’T FIND IT IN THE STORES. I’m in Olympia, WA & I’ve had my daughter in Arizona & my son in Colorado look in their grocery stores. Can’t find it. Please, don’t discontinue it. It’s a tradition. Even if you only make it for Thanksgiving & Christmas time, I’ll buy several jars for through out the year. PLEASE, PLEASE.

    Unfortunately we have no plans to bring it back at the moment, but we hope you will be able to find some other great Philly flavors to enjoy.

    Kraft doesn’t make Olive Pimento cheese spread any more as of 4TH QTR 2008 I was told this by Kraft represtative.

23. by Eileen, on December 28 2009 @ 3:14 pm

    

    I have been lookin for this for months, it has been a staple at the holidays for years as people have commented. I am VERY upset that this has been discontinued, especially due to low sales. If this was readily available year round I’m sure that there would not be low sales. I won’t buy the other flavors, they just can’t compare! PLease bring this back!!!!

24. by Jackie, on December 30 2009 @ 8:45 pm

    

    I am very disappointed that Kraft has discontinued the Olive and Pimento spread. My Mom and her sisters all served it on celery for all our special occasions. Thanksgiving and Christmas are not the same without it. Wish Kraft would reconsider. It is the best of all the spreads that they produce.

    PLEASE bring back the olive and pimento cheese spread. The others just won’t do it! What will I eat as I’m reading Sue Grafton Kinsey Millhone novels – it’s her staple!

    I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR OLIVE-PIMENTO EVERYWHERE ALSO-
    WHY DO THEY DISCONTINUE ALL THE GOOD STUFF?????IF ANY ONE FINDS THIS OR THEY DO MAKE IT AGAIN, PLEASE PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

    Please bring back olive-pimento cheese spread. Its my
    favorite,I don’t like the others. Kraft if you don’t want
    to make it, give us your recipe so we can make our own.

    Pleae bring this product back. There are no subsitutes.
    At least why not make a batch per year, sell it direct to consumers by the case – triple the cost & you profits…but please make this staple of retro-americana cooking back to those who love it!!

    I know how you feel about the Olive and Pimento Spread. I have been enjoying it for many, many years. It just got frustrating trying to find it so, I started making my own!

    Whip together Nufatchel Cream Cheese, Green Olives with Pimentos, some of the juice from the olives and voila, you have a tasty replacement for the elusive Olive and Pimento spread.

    Just give it a try, I know that you will love it!

    Bon Appetit!
