Tapenade

Tapenade is a spread made primarily from olives, capers, and olive oil, often seasoned with herbs and spices. Originating from the Provence region in France, tapenade can be prepared in various flavors, with the most common being black olive tapenade, made with black olives, and green olive tapenade, made with green olives. The ingredients are typically blended into a paste, which can be used as a condiment, dip, or accompaniment to bread, crackers, or vegetables. Tapenade is appreciated for its rich, savory flavor and is often served in Mediterranean cuisine.
