Murray's Black Pepper Pate 7oz
Murray's Black Pepper Pate is minerally and earthy in taste, made with all-natural pork and the bite of freshly ground black pepper. This style of pate has been crafted for hundreds of years, and has become a delicacy despite its humble origins. Murray's pate is delicately capped with aspic, and is a gamey, fully-cooked treat. This provincial classic makes a hearty toast topper at any time of day, whether as a late night snack or a treat at brunch. Enjoy with a dark Cabernet Sauvignon to accent the nip of the black pepper or a creamy Camembert to bring out the barnyardy and buttery flavors within. Also enjoy this pate spread thick on a slice of rustic bread with a tall glass of dark lager.
