Tapenade is a wonderful addition to your antipasti course. This tapenade is brightened up with artichokes and our peppery Nocellara Extra Virgin Olive Oil blending with Nocellara olives (called Castelvetrano olives in United States). Make ahead for your next holiday gathering, the tapenade keeps well for days in the fridge.
