About the Olivades
La Pomponette
La Pomponette produces a range of artisan olivades made by hand in Saint-Pompon, in the heart of the Dordogne. Using carefully selected ingredients and working with local producers whenever possible, the business celebrates the flavours and traditions of the region through small-scale production and attention to detail.
Unlike traditional tapenades, La Pomponette's olivades are made without anchovies or capers, allowing the flavours of the olives and accompanying ingredients to shine through.
