Pâte d’olive Cailletier BIO is an organic olive paste made exclusively from the Cailletier variety, a hallmark of Nice and the Côte d’Azur, which gives it a naturally mild, subtly fruity, and lightly nutty flavor. The olives are minimally processed, without heating or additives, allowing the paste to retain the natural softness, moisture, and delicate character typical of this small Mediterranean variety.
The texture is smooth, cohesive, and easily spreadable, with gentle herbal and almond-like notes that come directly from the pulp of the fruit. Its refined aromatic profile makes it ideal as the base of a classic Niçoise tapenade, or as an accompaniment to bruschetta, pasta, fish, or roasted vegetables, adding a distinct Provençal accent.
The organic character and traditional production methods make this paste one of Maison Alziari’s most emblematic products, closely tied to the local terroir and the region’s longstanding culinary heritage.
Producer
Maison Nicolas Alziari is one of France’s oldest and most recognizable olive-oil houses, founded in 1868 in Nice. Their work is rooted in traditional milling methods combined with a refined selection system that blends the local Cailletier variety with carefully chosen olives from across the Mediterranean.
They own extensive groves along the Côte d’Azur and control the entire production process - from harvest to bottling - which ensures consistent quality and a distinctive aromatic style. The Alziari range spans from delicate, mild oils to more fruity and intense expressions, while their signature blue tin has become an emblem of heritage and craftsmanship.
Today, their oils are regarded as a benchmark of French olive-oil production and are sold in specialty shops around the world.
