SAY CHEESE!
Going from a career in orthodontics to making her homemade-style pimento cheese and creamy dips & spreads, Dr. Cheryl Mitchell Barnett loves bringing a smile to your face. So, say cheese—and enjoy her delicious gourmet dips & spreads!
At MyThreeSons Gourmet, every bite of our gourmet, clean-label dips & spreads is a nostalgic homemade treat. It took me years to perfect the recipes. Our pimento cheese spreads are made using only the best ingredients with generous amounts of freshly shredded 9-month aged extra sharp cheddar cheese as the #1 ingredient! Our line of creamy dips and & spreads are fresh and light with no added water, fillers, gums or thickeners- made just like you would at home.
In my experience, pimento cheese was never something you’d buy from the store. During my childhood, I learned about rich, velvety- smooth, homemade pimento cheese from my “second mom”, Emmy. I was addicted. By the time I left for dental school, I had already crafted my own recipe, inspired by Emmy’s “pinch of this, pinch of that” philosophy.
Throughout my 14 years as an orthodontist, I made countless bowls of pimento cheese for friends and family. But when a serious back injury forced me into early retirement, I had to reinvent myself… I love a challenge! At that point, what began as a mother/son project started looking like a potential new career. My family and friends, especially my three sons, supported me one hundred percent to introduce my pimento cheese to retailers—and that’s how MyThreeSons Gourmet was born.
The first time Emmy got to taste my recipe, light on mayo and heavy on extra sharp cheddar cheese (ALWAYS freshly shredded), she gave it her “Emmy Seal of Approval.” Delighted, I named it “Emmy’s Original” to honor the woman who started it all. Since 2010, we’ve been bringing real homemade-style pimento cheese to market shelves, including two additional flavors—Fiery Jalapeño and Spicy White Cheddar! In 2025 we were thrilled to expand our offerings and introduce a line of clean-label, elevated classic, creamy dips & spreads!
So whether I’m an orthodontist or making delicious dips & spreads, I love bringing a smile to your face! Try MyThreeSons Gourmet today for a real taste of home.
