Whole Gordal de Sevilla Olives - 3.85kg

Gordal de Sevilla Olives (whole, unpitted)

Large, meaty Gordal olives from the province of Seville, cured whole with the stone intact for maximum flavour development.

Gordal means "the fat one" in Spanish, and the name fits. These are substantially bigger than a Manzanilla, with thick, fleshy flesh and a mild, buttery flavour that carries less bitterness than most green olive varieties. Leaving the stone in during curing gives a rounder, more complex finish and firmer texture. The brine is clean and well balanced.

Gordal is one of only two olive varieties from Seville to hold Protected Geographical Indication (IGP) status, alongside the Manzanilla. They are hand harvested and cured in the traditional Sevillian style.

Serve as part of a tapas spread, alongside cheese, charcuterie, or conservas. Their size and firm bite make them a classic table olive to eat out of hand, and they are equally at home in slow braises and Andalusian stews where the stone helps them hold their shape.
