Cantaré Foods Inc. is well known for conceiving authentic fresh handcrafted artisan foods that are winning prestigious awards and is captivating attention throughout the United States. From vine ripened roasted tomatoes, to olive-based tapenades and now most recently, the all-new Chipotle Olive Salsa and Moroccan Olive Salsa, Cantaré captures the essence of what is and what should always be – a true passion for food and life. According to Cantaré’s Founder and Chairman, Robert Fischer, “We make our products slower, in smaller batches, often by hand and with individual care by our specially-selected craftsmen.”

The Chipotle Olive Salsa and Moroccan Olive Salsa blend the flavors of the Mediterranean with the hottest of culinary tastes & trends, to deliver an exotic flavor with a fusion twist. One of the most notable attributes of these products is their versatility.

The Chipotle Olive Salsa is comprised of black and green olives, blended with chipotle, lemon and cilantro. This Latin inspired blend allows the imagination to marry flavors from many cultures, creating super fun taste explosions on the palette. The product is available in 7 oz, 24 oz and 5lb tubs.

The Moroccan Olive Salsa with black and green olives, chickpeas, peaches, raisins, cilantro, roasted red bell peppers, cumin and a magical blend of Moroccan spices, truly represent the rich and aromatic flavors of Northern Africa. Available in 7 oz, 24 oz and 5 lb packaging, this is sure to be an impressive hit at your very next party!

Both products are unique in flavor and taste and are made from premium Spanish olives. These salsas can be used as a spread, dip, pesto or rub and enjoy a 75 day shelf life when refrigerated, or can be frozen for up to six months.

Both the Chipotle Olive and Moroccan Olive Salsas can be added to compliment existing dishes or turn your favorite meal into a taste sensation. For example, toss with cooked pasta and add barbecue chicken or fish for a quick and impressive dinner. Or, add to a favorite Bolognese sauce for something unusual and tasty. Alternatively, mix with cream cheese and sour cream for a quick dip or spread. Topping bagels and cream cheese with olive salsa adds nutritional value to your snack. Either salsa can be added to your favorite egg breakfast for an unusual twist. Pork tenderloin or a rack of lamb, when rubbed with olive salsa and grilled, is delectable to the palette. Salsas can also be added to burritos or quesadillas, salads or sauces for a zesty gourmet taste, or as a replacement to traditional tomato-based salsas when served as an appetizer with chips or crusty Italian bread. The salsas also work well as a stuffing for chicken or turkey; spread on a sandwich or wrap as a healthy alternative to mayonnaise; or be used as a pizza topping.
