Mallorcan pâté: what it is and how to serve it

Mallorcan pâté is a spread from the island's kitchen, served on toast, in sandwiches and on aperitif boards. There are traditional versions and olive versions, and every producer has its own recipe.

What is Mallorcan pâté?

It is a creamy spread. The traditional versions are usually made with meat, and there are also black or green olive pâtés. The composition varies by producer, so always read the label.

How to serve it

• On toasted bread or a slice of rustic loaf.
• On an aperitif board with cheese and olives.

• Alongside a good pa amb oli.

Quick ideas

• Tomato toast: toasted bread, a little grated tomato and pâté on top.
• Canapés: thin slices of bread with pâté and an olive.
• Pasta: olive pâté can be stirred through hot pasta as a quick sauce.

What it goes with

Bread, tomato and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. See our olive oils from Mallorca and sea salt and seasonings to complete the plate.

How to choose one
