The refined flavor of Toby’s Martini Olive Pâté presents a slight twist on their Original version.  The addition of green olives adds a pleasant, yet sharp, flavor that overrides the dips cheesiness just a bit.  Like the Original, this dip is just a bit chunky, but a lot creamy.  Unlike the Original, it is made with egg-less mayonnaise, and therefore vegan in addition to dairy-free.

We found the Martini Olive Pâté to be an excellent spread on onion bagels (for a light lunch – my favorite use), sandwiches (as a flavor-packed condiment), and crusty French bread (for the hors'deurves table).  The Martini Olive also went over well with our tasters as a dip for veggies, carrots, celery, and cauliflower to name a few. 

To be honest, I can’t get enough of Toby’s Pâté, whatever the flavor.  Nonetheless, it is nice that they have five different varieties to suit my mood and recipes. 

• Pros: Truly creamy non-dairy dip; Made with organic Non-GMO soybeans; All natural; Vegan; Versatile; Low-fat and no cholesterol
• Cons: Best for those who have a taste for tofu

Recommended For:

• Stand-Alone Bread Spread
• Veggie Dip
• Creamy Cravings
• Mediterranean Recipes (in place of sour cream or ricotta)

Where to Buy:

• In Stores - Natural food stores in CA, NV, AZ, NM, CO, UT, ID, MT, WA and AK; Special orders can be made.  I had much better luck with Wild Oats for Toby's, they carried the full range front and center in the refrigerated section.
