[Problem] Provided is a food composition containing acetic bacterial cells which has a good aroma, and a method of producing the food composition. [Solution] The food composition containing acetic bacterial cells of the present invention contains acetic acid and n-butyric acid, the peak area ratio between which is 40:1 to 1:20, as measured by solid phase micro extraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for odor components in the food composition. Surprisingly, such a food composition has a fermentative aroma like rice bran which can stimulate consumers' appetite.

A liquid edible dip that includes a first lactose-based composition, a second lactose-based composition, at least one spice, and a cucumber extract based bitter-blocking agent that can block the bitter tastes present in certain edible foods. The cucumber extract based bitter-blocking agent can modify, reduce, or block the bitter taste present in some edible foods. The first lactose-based composition may be a strained yogurt and the second lactose-based composition may be an evaporated milk powder.
