Description
Green olive patè with toasted almonds, from Sicily.
Green olives (85%) blended with toasted almonds (5%), extra virgin olive oil, salt and lactic acid as acidity regulator, with no preservatives or thickeners and 100% Sicilian ingredients. The almonds soften the sharpness of the olives and give the patè a creamier body. It is made by Azienda Agricola Mirto in Mazara del Vallo, in the province of Trapani, whose patè range is certified organic.
For restaurants and chefs. A finishing element with more depth than a plain olive spread. Spoon it onto warm crostini or focaccia as an amuse-bouche, or stir it into orecchiette or trofie with a splash of pasta water just before plating. It also works on grilled swordfish or chicken and as a layer in a sandwich with fresh cheese, so one jar covers antipasto, pasta and the lunch menu.
For specialty and Italian stores. The almond gives this patè a point of difference next to classic olive spreads, and a tasting spoon at the counter explains it in seconds. Organic certification and a five-ingredient label with no preservatives answer the questions shoppers ask most. It sits well in a Sicilian gift box with extra virgin olive oil, and cross-sells with crackers, grissini and aged cheeses.
