This is addicitive as another reviewer declared! I adore it! I put it on crisp bread, pretzel bread, and stuffed it into celery already just today! I cannot keep out of it! Instead of the olive oil I used 1 t. black olive brine and 2 t. green olive brine. I could not see adding anymore fat to it. I will be making this for every event I am invited to! Fantastic stuff!

I nix the olive oil - no olive oil. I nix the salt - no salt as it takes away from the cream cheese flavor! Also, I did not put garlic powder in it at all. I used regular cream cheese, black olives chopped, a lesser amount of green olives chopped, added a couple of tablespoons of the black olive juice, and...totally awesome!!!!
