I Contadini's Black Olive Paté is one of the most traditional and popular in southern Italy. Almost 90% of this pâté consists of two outstanding olive varieties— Leccine and Celline —which captivate with their delicate, fruity, intensely spicy notes.

After careful harvesting and pickling, they become a delicately spicy paste – full-bodied, full of character, yet creamy and mild. No artificial additives, refined only with oil and lemon – ready to enjoy and use straight away .

Whether as an aperitif, as a spread on bread, or as a topping for Mediterranean dishes: This olive paste brings the South directly to your plate. 💚

🛠️ Production & Philosophy

The olives are harvested by hand in Puglia between October and November and soaked in brine for six months – a process that gently reduces bitterness. They are then finely chopped and blended with high-quality olive oil – completely without vinegar or preservatives .

I Contadini: The heart of Puglia in every glass ❤️

It's produced by I Contadini , a family-run winery in Puglia. For over 30 years, the Trentin family has been cultivating their land with dedication—now run by their grandchildren Edoardo and Emanuele. 🌱 Here, farming means more than just cultivation: every harvest is processed by hand, many vegetables are traditionally dried in the Puglian sun (“Essiccazione al sole” ☀️), and every jar is the product of honest craftsmanship.

The philosophy of I Contadini is simple yet profound: respect for nature, the joy of genuine quality, and the preservation of Puglia's culinary heritage. Opening a jar, you taste the land, the seasons, and the dedication of a family that knows: "A true farmer never ceases to be one."

🌟 Mediterranean soul in a glass – pure, intense & unadulterated!
