Artichoke and Castelvetrano Tapenade

Olio Taibi

Category

Antipasti

Perfect for dipping or spreading, this tapenade is packed with flavor from a whole cup of Castelvetrano olives along with artichokes, capers, and our Nocellara Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Don't leave out the anchovy if they aren't usually your thing- the single filet adds a massive boost of flavor without fishy-ness.
