 Salt, and lots of it July 11, 2010
J. R.
I realize that in a society that has food for sale everywhere--so much of which is laden with salt--that public demand will be for more of the same.
However, the very first ingredient listed on the back label of the Dean Jacob's Sicilian Blend Bread Dipping Seasoning is ... salt. In fact, the serving size recommended for dipping bread is: one teaspoon of this seasoning for every two tablespoons of olive oil. Now this stuff may work wonders in various recipes, or if used sparingly in other ways. But that very teaspoon of seasoning has 200mg of sodium in it. That might be fine for most people (and for purposes of comparison, a teaspoon of table salt will typically contain nearly ten times as much sodium).
For me, however, this Sicilian Blend seasoning is far too salty to use in an oil for dipping bread, as the salt is just too overpowering. If I were to use more oil or less seasoning, the flavoring would be substantially lessened, defeating the purpose of the product. I recognize that this is a matter of personal taste, and I also, while searching here on Amazon, discovered that Dean Jacob's dipping seasonings come in low-salt versions:
Dean Jacobs 4 Bread Dipping Seasonings, Low Salt and No Salt, 3.71-Ounce Large Jars (Pack of 3)
I have not yet tried these low/no-salt versions, but I may.
I very much like the concept of dipping seasoning since I usually consume the first serving of bread (that comes out of my bread machine) with high-quality olive oil. And since I now know there exists a low-salt version of this seasoning, I have given the product two stars instead of only one.
 Use for more than dipping! July 3, 2010

I love this for flavoring olive oil to dip bread into, but it's also great for cooking. My favorite use is mixing with low-fat mayo to make herbed mayo for chicken salad. Adds just the right flavor without being overpowering.
Very good January 24, 2010

I didn't much care for this until I tired it a few times. Now I love it and am ordering more.
VERY DELICIOUS!!!!!! February 18, 2008

These seasonings (other flavors: Tuscany & Rosa Maria) there is also a Parmasan blend, but the first 3 are my personal favorites, are absolutely DELICIOUS!!! They are also very versatile, you can have them with olive oil for bread dipping or better yet, use them to cook chicken, ground turkey burgers, fish, just about anything you can think of. I've tried a few other seasonings at the supermarket but they are waste of money, you get a lot more seasoning and a TON more delicious flavor with the Dean Jacob's seasoning collection.

I have been including Deam Jacobs bread dipping seasoning in gift baskets for years. My friends and family beg for them! Our favorites are the parmesian and sicilian blends and we not only use them with olive oil, but on salads, pasta and as a marinade for chicken, fish etc.
I keep well stocked and give them to friends who come to dinner when they inquire. A great plus in the kitchen.
