Black olive tapenade what it is: 

To explain what the tapenade is, we must go into parts. The tapenade is also known as spreadable paste that is elaborated, normally, with minced meat, liver or fat, adding herbs, spices or wine. In this case, our black olive tapenade, as its name indicates, it is elaborated from black olives and not with meat. These black olives are mixed with extra virgin olive oil and that is how the black olive tapenade is made.

Marchenica tapenades: with more than 100 years of experience and dedication 

This black olive tapenade that we have available at Gastronic Spain, comes from the brand Marchenica, which started at 1899 elaborating olive oil at Calanda, Teruel. Nowadays, they have expanded their field of work, producing a wide variety of products, from tapenades, olives and olive oil, to the famous Calanda peach in syrup. 

The Marchenica Tapenade is an original Aragonese product. From the Bajo Aragón region, they offer us a delicious range of tapenades with a unique flavour that combine history, culture, and the gastronomy itself. 

Black Olive Tapenade of Marchenica recipe 

One of the curiosities of the black olive paté is that is also known as “tapenade”, although the original recipe of the tapenade is different because it includes ingredients such as anchovies or capers. 

At Gastronomic Spain we are going to explain the recipe of how to elaborate this black olive tapenade just as Marchenica does: 

1. In the first place, we will drain the black olives (in case they come in jar). 

2. In the second place, we will wash them under the sink, and we will drain them again. It is advisable to use a strainer. 

3. If they have a bone in it, remove it. 

4. Next, we will keep our black olives in a bowl or in a blender. We will blend them. It is important to consider the time spent, because depending on the creaminess that we want, we will blend more or less. 

5. To this process we will add a little bit of extra virgin olive oil. 

6. Finally, we will have a delicious black olive tapenade.
