2. Mediterranean appetizers
We ourselves love to serve the simplest appetizer or aperitif in the world: delicious Mediterranean delicacies, exactly as known from classic Mediterranean cuisine.
Serve one or two types of olives, such as Sicilian green Nocellare del Belice and Greek Kalamata. Accompany them with crispy Italian handmade crackers, for example our favorite Taralli with rosemary. And finally, one or two types of our delicacies, created according to the best traditional recipes from small producers. Try, for example, our Italian semi-dried cherry tomatoes and zucchini cream with goat cheese from Provence.

4. Mimosa eggs with avocado and lime
Mimosa eggs, or "oeufs mimosa," are the French version of "deviled eggs." Whatever they're called, the principle is the same: hard-boiled eggs cut in half and filled with a delicious mixture made from whipped yolks.
In our version, the yolks are mixed with avocado, lime, and quality floral olive oil. The result is the most beautiful canapés with a delicious creamy filling. Easy to prepare and serve, and perfect for the Easter breakfast table.

8- Chocolate "Olivettes"
And finally, another favorite sweet treat!
Our indispensable chocolate "olivettes". These chocolate candies in the shape of black or green olives will make a big impression at the end of the meal. They are not olives, but almonds coated in chocolate - the optical illusion effect is guaranteed!!
Bon appétit and Happy Easter!
