Black Empeltre Olive Pate Our Black Olive Pâté is produced from the finest selection of black olives, known as Empeltre, from the Alcañiz area of Aragon in northern Spain. To achieve its exquisite taste (which is far different than the bland black olives of California) these olives are placed in a brine solution in subterranean containers. This process neutralizes the acidity of the olives and deepens their natural flavor. This truly unique pâté is 100% natural with no artificial additives or colorants to compete with its subtle natural flavor. The pâté can be used as an appetizer or tapa; with or without butter on toast; as a spread for your favorite sandwich, dips, vegetables, anchovy canapés, sauces, or to season your pasta dishes. The only limit to its uses is your culinary imagination. Ellen Russell, one of our Tienda community members, sent in the following recipe, a recipe that is a BIG favorite with her friends:Black Olive Dip: 1 c sour cream, 1/2 c real mayonnaise ( not Miracle Whip ), 2 T black olive paste. Mix together until smooth. Refrigerate about an hour, if you can wait, then serve with crackers, chips, celery, or my preferred choice, fresh, soft pita.. Add additional black olive paste for a more intense flavor. |
