Gordal Sevillana

Gordal means the ‘Fat One’ in Spanish – it is a table olive with a profuse juiciness, but not bitter – it has an almost citrus-like taste on the palette. They are great stuffed with peppers and garlic, or served with Manchego cheese. Without a doubt, this is one of the most famous olive varieties in the world. Gordal Sevillana is mainly used to produce table olives notable for their large size, which is what differentiates them from all other varieties. It is mainly grown in Seville, although it has been successfully grown in other areas of Spain. It is not generally used to produce olive oil due to its very low fat yield.
