Black Olive Tapenade. Jamie and his favourite Italian are back sharing their secrets for a great Olive Tapenade. Black or green olives, chopped with chilli and fennel seeds served on crushed ice and surrounded by delicious, buttery nocellara olives.

Studies show that consuming 10 medium sized olives per day will safely deliver nutrients and beneficial health compounds.

Delicious straight from the jar on crackers and with cheese; as a base for bruschetta and pizza, as an addition to meat and vegetarian dishes and in tapenades, relish & olive jam. Add a few drops of olive oil for a different texture. Enjoy!

Table olives are olives which are intended to be consumed as food, rather than being used for oil production.¹

The discovery off the coast of Haifa made by a group of researchers from most major Israeli universities shows production of olives for eating started at least 6,600 years ago.
