Mar-Tret Escalivada Asada – Roasted Vegetables in Oil 250g

Escalivada asada is a Catalan classic: a medley of roasted vegetables — aubergine, pepper, onion, tomato — preserved in olive oil. Mar-Tret sources vegetables from Spain's market gardens and roasts them slowly until their natural sugars concentrate and char slightly, then seals them in glass with fragrant olive oil. At 250 grams, one jar makes a substantial side or a light starter for two.

The vegetables arrive soft and yielding, their skins darkened from roasting, their flavors deep and slightly smoky. This is not raw vegetable preserve; it is the taste of a wood-fired grill captured in a jar. Serve it warm or at room temperature.

How to enjoy

• Spoon onto toasted bread with a crumble of fresh cheese or jamón for a substantial tapa.
• Serve as a side dish with grilled fish or white meat.
• Toss through warm pasta or pearl barley for a light, vegetable-forward meal.
• Add to a charcuterie board alongside olives, cured meats, and aged manchego.

⭐ Why we love this

Escalivada asada represents the soul of Catalan cooking—humble vegetables transformed through slow roasting into something profound and deeply savory. Mar-Tret's version respects tradition by letting the vegetables' natural char and caramelization shine, creating a preserves that tastes of the grill rather than the jar.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve chilled or warmed alongside a crisp Catalan white like Penedès Xarel·lo, or pair with a light rosé from Penedès. As a tapa, it shines with aged manchego cheese and jamón ibérico; for a main course companion, it's perfect with grilled sea bream or roasted lamb.
