Belazu Black Olive Tapenade 170g is suitable for vegans, vegetarians. Rich, black, naturally-ripened Beldi olives blended with capers, garlic, and sundried tomatoes to make an umami-rich paste that picked up a Great Taste Star in 2014. We use the finest black Moroccan olives and capers with no artificial flavorings or preservatives. Though the principal ingredient is olives, the term Tapenade comes from the Provençal name for caper buds, tape no. In ancient times, capers were preserved in amphoras of olive oil, forming the origins of the modern tapenade.
