Black Olive Paste, 180 g

This black olive paste from Antica Bottega Siciliana reflects the essence of Western Sicilian tradition.

Using hand-washed, pitted black olives, the paste is prepared through simple, time-honoured methods: the olives are finely chopped and mixed with extra virgin olive oil, herbs, and a touch of vinegar to enhance their naturally rich, earthy flavour.

The texture is smooth and spreadable, ideal for topping crostini, bruschetta, or adding depth to pasta sauces. Its intense savoury notes also make it a great match for grilled meats, charcuterie boards, or as a base layer in sandwiches. You can even stir a spoonful into warm grains or roasted vegetables for added Mediterranean character.

Nutritionally, black olive paste retains many of the olive’s natural benefits – heart-healthy fats, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s a smart way to enrich meals without artificial additives or unnecessary complexity.

Expect a bold, umami-forward taste with hints of oregano and pepper that bring out the full-bodied character of black olives, making it both versatile and satisfying.
