NAZPARI AZARI

The Founder Story

Crafted with love, by Nanaz.

TAPENAZ began with a simple question: why wasn't French tapenade more widely enjoyed in the UAE? Founder Nazpari Azari created her own Middle Eastern twist and gave it a new name. A UAE national and EHL hospitality graduate from Lausanne, Switzerland, Nazpari brings years of food and beverage experience to the brand.

​

With support from Dubai SME, she established a local factory to make gourmet food accessible to home cooks and professional kitchens. Today, TAPENAZ offers 150 g retail jars and 1 kg catering packs. A chicken marinade is coming soon, with a vision to take this UAE-born brand to tables around the world.

Social Proof

Loved across the Emirates.

I bought one jar to try and came back for six. It's on our table every single evening — the depth of flavour is unlike any tapenade I've had in Europe.

Home cook, Dubai Marina

As a chef, I'm picky about spreads. Tapenaz is ready to serve, consistent, and my guests always ask what it is. It's now a fixture on our mezze boards.

Karim A.

Executive Chef, Business Bay

Vegan, sugar-free, and actually delicious — that combination is rare. My kids eat it on toast without knowing it's the healthiest thing in the house.
