Ati Manel’s smoked trout pâté is smooth, gently smoky and beautifully balanced, showing off the sweetness of high-quality trout without any heaviness. The texture is creamy yet light, with a subtle woodland smoke that feels more “gentle campfire” than full-on assertive. A touch of acidity keeps things lively, and the finish is clean, savoury and quietly elegant—classic Ati Manel restraint.
 
Serving suggestion: Spread generously on warm baguette or seedy crackers with a squeeze of lemon and a little finely chopped dill. Also excellent as a quick canapé on cucumber rounds with a pinch of smoked paprika.
 
Wine matches: A crisp Vinho Verde to match the freshness, or an Adelaide Hills Chardonnay if you prefer something local and a touch more rounded.
 
Ati Manel
Founded on a family tradition dating back to 1922, Ati Manel brings a touch of nostalgia and artistry to the world of Portuguese conservas. Their tins are instantly recognisable, wrapped in beautifully illustrated paper that evokes the feel of an old apothecary’s cabinet, but the real magic lies inside. Working with local fisheries and quality ingredients, Ati Manel offers a range that is both classic and inventive—respecting tradition while embracing bold, modern flavours.
