Beyond Butter: Elevate Olive Oil & Bread with These 6 Flavor-Packed Blends

Chefs, take your bread service to the next level! Discover the top 6 spice blends that turn high-quality olive oil into a signature, flavour-packed starter. Whether you're crafting an unforgettable tableside experience, enhancing house-made focaccia, or adding value to your menu, these blends bring bold, consistent seasoning with minimal effort. Read on to find the perfect blend for your restaurant.

In restaurants, the simplest dishes often have the biggest impact. A perfect example? Fresh, crusty bread served with high-quality olive oil and a well-balanced blend of spices. It’s a low-lift, high-reward addition to your menu—whether as a shareable starter, a complement to soups and salads, or an easy way to add value to your bread service.

But while the olive oil does some of the heavy lifting, the right seasoning takes it to another level. A bold, aromatic blend transforms a basic oil-and-bread setup into a standout moment—one that guests remember, talk about, and come back for. Whether you're looking for classic Mediterranean warmth, bright citrusy notes, or a punch of heat, choosing the right spice blend is key to making those flavours shine.

In a fast-paced kitchen, consistency and efficiency are everything. Pre-blended spice mixes eliminate the guesswork, ensuring every plate delivers the same depth of flavour without adding extra prep time. With these six Spicewalla blends, you can level up your olive oil & bread offering in seconds—no measuring, mixing, or overcomplicating needed.

Modena Balsamic Rub

Elevate your house-made focaccia or bread service with the rich, tangy depth of balsamic vinegar—no reduction required. This blend balances sweet and savory with a touch of garlic, onion, and herbs, making it a perfect infusion for olive oil, vinaigrettes, and marinades.

French Herbed Dijon

A chef-driven take on classic French flavors, this blend combines zesty Dijon mustard with fragrant tarragon, thyme, and shallots. Whisk into olive oil for a quick dipping sauce, or use it to build depth in vinaigrettes, aiolis, and compound butters.

Amore Italian Seasoning

Big Italian flavor, no prep required. This all-purpose herb blend delivers the bold garlic, basil, and oregano notes essential for bread service, marinades, and finishing oils. Perfect for restaurants looking to add authentic Italian seasoning with consistency and ease.

Pescado Verde

A bright, herbaceous blend with citrus, coriander, and a kick of green chili, designed to enhance seafood dishes but just as at home in olive oil for a vibrant bread dip. Use it to add layered flavor to ceviches, dressings, or grilled proteins.

Za’atar

Earthy, nutty, and aromatic, our za’atar blend is the ultimate addition to a Mediterranean bread course. Mix it with olive oil for dipping, sprinkle over flatbreads, or fold into labneh and hummus for a deeply savory finish.

Chili Lime

A bold mix of smoky heat and zesty citrus, this blend brings a punch of flavor to dipping oils, aiolis, and infused marinades. Try it as a rim spice for cocktails, a rub for proteins, or a finishing touch for grilled vegetables.
