Queen Pitted Gordal Olives

A gourmet delight hailing from the picturesque Seville region of Andalusia in southern Spain, the gordal olive, sometimes called Sevillano or queen olive, produces a plump, large oval fruit hence the name which translates to “the fat one”. One of the standout features of the Gordal olive is its size. These olives are significantly larger than your average olive, making them a favorite among culinary connoisseurs and food enthusiasts.

Unlike other olive varieties, Gordal olives are not primarily used for olive oil production due to their relatively low oil content. Instead, they have found their niche as the ultimate canvas for creating delectable appetizers that will elevate your culinary experience to new heights.
