Tapping into the viral US flavour trend for ranch style dips, Black Swan has released two seasonal editions - Creamy Ranch Dip and Buffalo Ranch Dip (with Frank’s RedHot Sauce).

According to Black Swan, #ranch has generated more than 590,000 mentions on TikTok, with creators testing its versatility in the “Will it Dip?” challenge.

The ranch sauce market was valued at $1.2 billion last year, and is expected to reach $2.5 billion by 2033.

Creamy Ranch Dip is made with yoghurt, garlic and herbs for a creamy flavour that’s works as a dip, in a wrap, or drizzled on salads.

Buffalo Ranch Dip (with Frank’s RedHot® Sauce) is a bold blend of Frank’s RedHot tangy spice and smooth ranch, delivering a balance of heat and creaminess.

Both dips are gluten free and made in Australia. They have an RRP of $4.50 and are available at Coles and independent retailers nationally.
