7 Best Tapenade UK 2022| Waitrose, Belazu and More

In at number one, we have chosen the traditional taste of Waitrose's Kalamata Olive & Anchovy Tapenade. Made simply with just a few ingredients, including Kalamata olives, red wine vinegar, and anchovies — it's rich, bold, and utterly divine.

Perfect with everything from roasted Mediterranean vegetables, to a cheeseboard, or even served on buttery toast, you're sure to find endless ways to incorporate this tapenade into your meals and snacks. Part of Waitrose's own-label range, it's very affordable for such a delicious spread!

The second Priansos offering on our list, their olive tapenade with sundried tomato, wine and oregano just has to be sampled! Produced using only the finest ingredients, the dash of red wine helps to create a naturally luxurious and indulgent tapenade.

Priansos are experts when it comes to olives and the authenticity of their ingredients makes this jar worth the higher price. Overall, it's a delicious tapenade paste to enjoy with a wide range of Mediterranean-inspired recipes such as bruschetta or meze.

A great product to have in the cupboard for when the urge for a savoury snack strikes, this tapenade from Waitrose is utterly delish! In particular, cheese lovers will adore the blend of feta, sundried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and capers.

Highly rated on Waitrose, this tapenade makes for a charismatic addition to pasta dishes, sandwiches, and appetisers. We particularly like that this recipe creates a depth that can only be found in the most authentic tapenades.

For a slightly more unusual flavour combination, opt for Belazu's Antipasti Roasted Pepper Tapenade. Made from grilled red peppers, tomato paste, garlic, and paprika oil, it makes a gorgeous dip or salad dressing.

Aromatic and totally yummy, this tapenade is vegan, so you can also add it to a plant-based platter to share with friends. It's a great choice for those who are already familiar with traditional tapenade looking to branch out a bit by trying some exciting new flavours.

This is another olive tapanade that's on the tangy side. Made with oregano, thyme, pepper and lemon, it's perfect when served alongside a selection of breads, goats cheese, or salad topped with pine nuts.

Created in Southern Crete, this tapenade is a delicious and authentically Greek product from a region known for its olives. Far from your standard traditional tapenade, the combination of ingredients is sharp, zesty, aromatic and packs a real punch!

For something a little different why not try Belazu's Green Olive Tapenade? Blended with zestful ingredients like preserved lemons, capers, and garlic, it will add a fresh and vibrant character to many dishes. Plus, it's suitable for vegans!

Winner of a Great Taste Award in 2019, this tapenade takes inspiration from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours, with just a few simple, good-quality ingredients. However, this combination does make it a little astringent, so you may want to balance it out with cheeses, bread or even basil.

For a cheaper option that still brings the taste, Asda's Kalamata Olive & Sun-Dried Tomato Tapenade is worth a look. Suitable for vegetarians and made without any artificial ingredients, it's not bad at all for the price.

Super versatile, it can be added to pasta dishes, meze platters, or simply eaten with bread, crisps and crostini. It does contain rather a lot of olive oil, so it's not quite as thick or substantial as others, but it's tasty nonetheless.
