Start by grating white cheddar cheese until fully grated.

Put cream cheese into a small mixer to whip until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides occasionally.

Chop garlic by removing the brown core, smashing it with a knife, and then chopping it finely.

Once the cream cheese is light and fluffy, add a pinch of sugar, a small pinch of paprika, and some of the pimento juice (not all).

Add chopped garlic and a touch of Dijon mustard to the cream cheese mixture and mix until smooth and incorporated.

Fold in the grated white cheddar cheese gently to maintain texture, avoiding blending it into a paste.

Taste the mixture and add a touch of salt, black pepper, and a little hot sauce to enhance the flavor.

Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and optional green herbs for decoration before serving.
