Product Catalog

Though it may not be on anyone’s mind as a “commonly purchased product”, this cruelty-free version of a sophisticated spread should be in the mainstream to be enjoyed by all. Its name is a play on the ever controversial gourmand’s dish but this spread is serious. It contains toasted, premium California walnuts, lentils and onions; with miso providing density, and Japanese rice wine, extra virgin olive oil and other non-GMO ingredients and spices round out flavor. It’s complex, nutty and has been described as “slightly funky”; it spreads smoothly but is dense at the same time making it a fantastic choice to pair with crackers or a baguette. The key to this spread is is its richness (minus any fatty cholesterol) which provides a satisfaction akin to indulging in a pâté. The founder of this brand, Ella Nemcova, has said, “decadent and vegan are not usually used in the same sentence” but her mission is to show the world that dairy* and meat cravings can be satisfied with carefully-crafted, equally-rich alternative plant-based foods. While the taste of this spread alternative cannot be compared with exactness to the cold pâté meat version, its sophisticated taste and texture will still please (and surprise!) those with a refined palate. So for your next fancy tailgate, remember to make use of this rich spread without doing harm to anything with tail feathers or otherwise. And, get rewarded by paying only around $5 for an 8 ounce tub, satisfying a champagne indulgence for any beer pocketbook.

* Basilicotta™ is another Regal Vegan product that is a soft and spreadable dairy-free spread made with fresh basil and raw cashews.
