An all-Italian idea, the Finger Food “The Original,” a touch of creativity, combining land and sea.

An apericena that transforms simplicity into elegance, our dried fruit pâté cubes are a burst of flavors packed into a perfect format for refined finger food.

The base of each cube is crafted from a selection of premium dried fruit: sweet apricot kernels, cashews, and pine nuts, offering creaminess, crunch, and a rich, balanced nutritional profile.

To this exquisite base, we add ingredients that create unique combinations, each one different from the next, to satisfy every palate, from vegan to vegetarian to non-vegetarian: for those who appreciate authentic flavors that highlight plant-based ingredien, for those who love the essence of nature without compromising on richness of taste, for those who seek bold and sophisticated flavors that blend the best of land and sea.
There’s something for everyone:

• Fresh Basil: A delicate and aromatic flavor, ideal for lovers of Mediterranean notes.
• Crunchy Radicchio: A hint of bitterness that perfectly balances the sweetness of the nuts.
• Wild Nettle: A refined, herbal touch that evokes authentic and natural flavors.
• Broccoli rabe: a vegetable with slightly bitter and mildly spicy notes, adding a unique and bold character to the dried fruit base.
• Premium Truffle: The luxurious choice for those seeking a refined and irresistible pâté.
• Spicy Giardiniera: A flavor explosion with a vibrant and lively note.
• Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Intense and enveloping flavors reminiscent of the sun-drenched Italian tradition.

• Fresh or Quality Preserved Tuna: A creamy and rich combination that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of pine nuts.
• Anchovies in Oil: A savory, deep note that enhances the nut base, creating a harmonious and irresistible mix.

• Serve on a rustic wooden board or minimalist trays made of ceramic or slate for a chic effect.
• Garnish with microgreens, coarse salt crystals, or a sprinkle of spices that complement the chosen flavor.
• Pair with glasses of Italian wine (prosecco, fruity white, or full-bodied red), craft beers, or spritz cocktails.
• Feature as the centerpiece of a buffet, alongside bruschetta, crudités, or aged cheeses.
