Patè Savory creams

Guide to Sicilian pâtés and savoury creams: how to use it properly

These products are useful because they bring Mediterranean flavour to the table without complicated cooking. The best choice depends on texture, intensity, ingredients and the way you want to serve it.

How to use it

Spread on toasted bread, use in small sandwiches, add a spoon to pasta at the end of cooking, or serve with crackers and cheese. Tuna creams deserve special attention, with combinations such as tuna and pistachio, peppers, olives, almonds, orange or artichokes according to assortment.

Pairings

Pair with white wine, rosé, light beer, olives, capers and grilled vegetables.

What should you check?

Always check ingredients, weight, storage after opening and whether the product is ready to eat or needs preparation. Use clean utensils and follow the label after opening.

Buying advice

Before choosing, read the product page carefully: ingredients, weight, producer, format and storage instructions are often more useful than the category name alone. This is especially important for artisan, seasonal or mixed-assortment products.

How to make it part of a Sicilian selection

For a stronger result, combine the product with one or two related items from the Gocce di Sicilia catalogue. A sweet can be paired with coffee or wine; a savoury product with bread, oil or cheese; a gift product with chocolate or a tasting box.
