Traditional Mallorcan pâtés
Traditional Mallorcan olive pâtés are one of the island's great culinary gems, and many visitors never notice them. Made from selected olives, black or green depending on the variety, with extra virgin olive oil and natural seasoning, they are a pantry essential for anyone who loves Mediterranean food.
What makes them different
The key difference from industrial olive spreads is the raw material and the process. Mallorcan producers use local olives picked at their ripest and processed cold to keep their natural aromas. Check each product page for the exact ingredients: the basics are olives, extra virgin olive oil, salt and, in some cases, aromatic herbs. The result is an intense-tasting pâté with a smooth texture that spreads easily on bread and an aroma reminiscent of the old olive groves of the Serra de Tramuntana.
