Pâtétaining:
Rustic Tables, Refined Flavors

It's easy to put together a spectacular summertime soiree, it just takes a great atmosphere and savory gourmet snacks! Embrace the outdoors with rustic style and earthy flavors. Let Alexian take care of the appetizers!

Wood tables and table decorations have an earthy feel that blend in with trees and surrounding nature. Set plenty of flower arrangements on the table to add color and fresh summer fragrance. Pinecones make great table decorations and add a rustic touch.

Our Pâtés come in earthy colors that will really blend with the rustic theme. Pairing pâté with bright, refreshing ingredients is appealing to the eyes and the taste buds. Try these tips for an effortless style and flavor.

Pâté with Summer Fruits
Savory pâté and sweet fruit balance each other out perfectly. Cherries are in season and make a fantastic pairing with Campagne Pâté. The sherry wine and herbs offer a contrast to the sweet cherries. For a vegetarian option, try pairing our Earthy Mushroom Vegan Terrine with pineapple. The acidity of the fruit cuts through the rich mushroom blend.

Pâté with Vegetable Dippers
Eating crisp veggies are a fantastic way to stay fresh during the summer heat. Set up a spread including a few of your favorite pâtés, then serve with slices of carrot, celery, bell pepper, and broccoli. Think of the vegetables as edible spoons; dip away in pâté!

Fresh Summer Cheese & Pâté Plate
It's easy to put together a fresh cheese plate to eat with Alexian Pâté. Set up a plate with a few of your favorite pâtés and some crusty baguette. For a savory summer delight, take a piece of baguette and spread with our Tomato-Basil Terrine, then layer with fresh mozzarella and drizzled olive oil. Fresh goat cheese with our Mixed Vegetable Terrine makes a healthy and delicious summer snack, too.
