Delectable Gordal Olives from Spain

A large oval shaped olive grown in Spain and other countries, known for it's green color with a rougher and meatier texture than other olives. The olive may have small white marks on its outer skin, the spots are due to growing conditions and the levels of oil and sugar within the olive. The Gordal olive variety of olive, which is also known as a "Queen" olive, has a low level of oil content and a high level of sugar.

So when they are harvested, if the conditions have been dry and the olive is also dry, fermentation becomes stronger in this olive resulting in noticeable spots. The olive is brine-cured and provides a distinctively rich flavor enhanced by the added spices, such as sherry vinegar, cumin, garlic, and thyme. Gordal olives, which are available stuffed or whole, can be served as a snack, a hors d'oeuvre, or as a complement to salads and other foods.

 

Extraordinary Manzanilla Olives

Olives range in size from small to very large. Manzanilla olives are in the small to medium-size range. Manzanilla olives are available whole or pitted, in which case they may be stuffed, often with pimento and sometimes with garlic.

Manzanilla olives are often seen in appetizers, for example, in antipasto. They are de rigueur in martinis and the luncheon meat referred to as “olive loaf,” and are also used to garnish other items. They are frequently added to Arroz con pollo, a Spanish chicken and rice dish, though in cooked dishes, they should be added towards the end of any cooked food preparation to avoid having them become unpleasantly bitter through the cooking process.

Come to Tastealotta and try some of our delicious Manzanilla olives and be inspired to create your next great appetizer or martini!
