Black olive tapenade is a savory spread originating from Mediterranean cuisine, particularly rooted in French and Italian culinary traditions. Made primarily from ripe black olives, this flavorful mix typically includes garlic, capers, anchovies, olive oil, and fresh herbs like thyme or parsley. Its bold, salty profile makes it a versatile accompaniment to breads, crackers, or as a condiment for meats and vegetables. Rich in healthy monounsaturated fats from olives and olive oil, tapenade provides heart-friendly benefits and essential antioxidants. However, its high sodium content, primarily from olives, capers, and anchovies, can be a concern for those monitoring salt intake. Low sodium variants can be made by adjusting ingredients. Black olive tapenade is also naturally gluten-free, making it a suitable choice for many diets. Whether enjoyed as a dip or spread, it brings a touch of Mediterranean flair to any dish.
