Description
Wild fennel and green olives, a pairing straight from the Sicilian countryside.
85% organic green olives are blended with wild fennel gathered in season, extra virgin olive oil, salt and lactic acid as acidity regulator. The result is aromatic and fresh, made with no preservatives or thickeners and 100% Sicilian ingredients. It comes from Azienda Agricola Mirto in Mazara del Vallo, in the province of Trapani, whose patè range is certified organic.
For restaurants and chefs. Wild fennel is the herb of pasta con le sarde, and this patè brings that aroma into the kitchen without foraging. Toss it through bucatini with sardines or anchovies and toasted breadcrumbs, spoon it over grilled fish or pork, or spread it thinly on bread for a seafood crudo plate. Its freshness suits spring and summer menus.
For specialty and Italian stores. Few shoppers outside Sicily have tasted wild fennel, which makes this jar a discovery item and a good talking point. The organic olives and an additive-free label support the story at the counter. It pairs with tinned fish, crackers and white wine in a Sicilian selection, and stands out in a gift box next to more familiar spreads.
Specs: 230 g, case of 16, organic, no preservatives or thickeners, Sicilia (Italy).
