Tapenade is one of the great classics of Provençal cuisine. Originating in the south of France, and more specifically in Marseille, this iconic dish takes its name from the Provençal word tapenas, meaning “capers,” an essential ingredient alongside olives and olive oil. It is typically enjoyed as an appetizer, spread on toasted bread or served with raw vegetables, but it also works well to enhance meats, fish, or even pasta dishes.

Over time, tapenade has evolved into several gourmet variations: black tapenade, made with plump black olives and featuring a mild, rounded flavor; green tapenade, which is fresher and slightly tangy, made with green olives; some recipes also include anchovies for a hint of the sea, or aromatic herbs like thyme and rosemary to accentuate the Mediterranean flavor.

Simple yet refined, tapenade embodies the spirit of the South: sunshine, conviviality, and authentic flavors.
