Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a dip and a tapenade?
Dips are typically creamy spreads like hummus or tzatziki, designed for scooping with veggies or bread. Tapenades, originating from Provence, are chunkier olive-based pastes often including anchovies or capers, perfect for topping crostini or fish.
Are your dips and tapenades suitable for vegetarians?
Most of our dips and tapenades are vegetarian or vegan, clearly labelled on each product. Always check individual ingredients for any animal-derived components like anchovies in some traditional tapenades.
How should I store dips and tapenades after opening?
Keep them refrigerated at 4°C and consume within 7-14 days, depending on the product. Use a clean utensil each time to prevent contamination and extend shelf life.
What are some recipe ideas using these products?
Spread tapenade on pizza bases before adding toppings, mix dips into potato salads, or use as a marinade base for chicken skewers. They're brilliant in wraps or as a base for stuffed mushrooms.
