Patè of Green Olives
Pâté of Green olive is rich in flavor and texture attained by the union of the best Green Olives with a high-quality extra virgin olive oil. It’s an excellent creation used as an appetizer, over a bruschetta, topped with ricotta or mozzarella, tossed with pasta, over grilled vegetables, in quiches, to garnish sandwiches, or simply as an accompaniment to a tomato or in a potato salad.
