Marco Polo Ajvar Mild - Roasted Red Pepper Spread Mild, 19.3 oz

Good tasting. A good substitute for tomato sauce. Good as a dip too.

Love Ajvar. I used to get it when I lived in NYC. But, had no idea where to find it when I moved to FT. Worth. Tried plenty of groceries and none ever even heard of it. Thanks to Amazon, I found it here. This is the same awesome taste that I remember. Unique, and hard to describe, but it is basically eggplant mixed with hot peppers, and some spices, roasted, blended, and severed as a spread over just about anything you want, starting with breakfast over eggs, added to any type of bread, onto lunch as a perfect condiment to a sandwich with or without meat –– good on veggies as well as any meat –– on to dinner, you name it, it taste delicious on it. Toast pointes with mozzarella, a cherry tomato and a dash of Ajvar, and you're living like a king. (Or queen)

Exactly the taste I want in an Ajvar, but the peels are a bit of an annoyance. Makes a lovely breakfast!!

I absolutely loved this item!! My husband is a type 1 diabetic with stage 4 kidney disease, so he can’t eat high potassium foods like tomatoes, but he loves dishes made with tomato sauce. So this item was a perfect tomato sauce substitute. It actually taste better than tomato sauce! I’ve made spaghetti, lasagna, meatball subs, and many other dishes using this Marco Polo spread, and the food came out delicious! Very pleased with this Marco Polo spread...I will definitely keep ordering. I wish the price was a little lower, but I love this product.

The jar arrived damaged with ajvar leaking out of the lid. Packaging was good with plenty of bubble wrap, problem here is the product itself. Additionally, taste is horrible. If you are used to Serbian or Macedonian ajvar which has that smoky paprika taste, this is nothing like it. It has too much tomato and papers used feel very hard that you can't even chew them properly. Ajvar is supposed to be creamy. Just horrible- don't buy.

Tasty. Goes great on pasta, rice. Versatile.

I liked the price and the quality. We'd been getting this from Big Lots for years but they've stopped carrying it. We like it as a replacement for tomato-based pasta sauce because my wife is "sensitive" to tomatoes. We also like it as a pizza sauce.

This product is awfully hot! Thank goodness I didn't use it like a tomato sauce in my spaghetti! With only adding 2 Tablespoons to a sauce, it was almost too spicy for me. I wanted something to replace tomato sauce as I seem to react to it but this will not work!
