Dried Tomato Tapenade Organic

How much sun-dried tomato is in this jar?

Seventy-three per cent rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes, salted at the drying stage. To that are added sunflower oil, extra virgin olive oil, salt, apple vinegar and lemon juice. The Kazidomi tapenade is made in Italy from organic ingredients and comes in a 100 g jar.

Why is it milder than the artichoke tapenade?

Drying concentrates the natural sugars of the tomato, which rounds the taste off. The Kazidomi artichoke tapenade works on a greener, more herbaceous note, sharpened with garlic and oregano. The tomato version stays rounder and fruitier, with a light acidity that comes from the apple vinegar.

What do I spread it on?

On bread, breadsticks or crackers with drinks. It also works as the base of a pasta sauce, folds into a soft cheese, fills a wrap or tops a white pizza. A spoonful of Kazidomi tapenade stirred in at the end of cooking lifts a risotto or a tray of roast vegetables.

How long does it keep once opened?

Ten days in the fridge, jar properly closed. Before opening, the Kazidomi tapenade keeps at room temperature, out of the light. Oil rising to the surface is not a fault: it is the natural separation of the oils in the recipe, and a turn of a spoon folds it back in.

Does it contain gluten or allergens?

No ingredient in the Kazidomi recipe brings gluten: sun-dried tomatoes, vegetable oils, salt, apple vinegar and lemon juice. The label does however mention possible traces of milk, nuts, lupin and soya. Anyone concerned by those allergens needs to take that into account before serving it.
