What Products Should I Pair With My Olives & Tapenades?
How Should I Store Your Products? Is Freezing Allowed?
Before opening:
Store in a cool, dry place like your pantry, no refrigeration needed.
After opening:
Refrigerate right away, keep the product covered in its original brine, and enjoy within 2–3 weeks for the best flavor and quality with a maximun opened shelf life of 6 months.
While you can freeze your tapenades well up to 3 months, we can´t say the same with the olives, they can become mushy or lose their firm, snappy texture after thawing due to the high water content and brine.

I Received An Email From You Requesting Weird Things, What Should I Do?
Chef Olé will never ask for sensitive info like passwords, full credit card details, or payments outside our secure checkout.
If the email asks for anything unusual (login credentials, gift card codes, urgent personal info, or suspicious links), it’s likely a phishing scam pretending to be us.
Please:
- Do not click any links or reply.
- Forward the suspicious email to us at foodies@chefole.com (include the full email headers if possible).
- Report it to your email provider as phishing/spam.
We’ll check if it matches our legitimate communications and help keep your account safe.
