Mediterranean Delicacies
Mediterranean Delicacies Vegetarian Pate is a vegan recipe made from aubergine for plenty of texture and flavour. Made to a tradition Greek recipe, it is perfect on bread or crackers.
Vegetarian pate is much healthier and lower in fat than the real thing. Cavi-Art® - Black, Red and Wasabi green - are a caviar substitute made of seaweed. Seaweed caviar is used as caviar in both hot and cold dishes. The natural pigments in the product do not discolour. Cavi-Art® is therefore very suitable as decoration or as a delicious snack.
Mediterranean Delicacies are available at Checkers, Spar, PnP and delis nationwide.
