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. Gordal olives are the perfect vessel for stuffing with a variety of savory fillings, allowing you to craft exquisite appetizers that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Below are some recipes we have created. * Cheese-Stuffed Gordal Olives: Imagine biting into a plump Gordal olive to discover a creamy, savory surprise at its core. Stuff them with your favorite cheeses such as feta, or goat cheese for a burst of flavor with every bite. The creamy cheese complements the briny, slightly tangy profile of the olive, creating a harmonious blend of textures and tastes. * Pepper-Stuffed Gordal Olives: For a zesty twist, stuff Gordal olives with vibrant and spicy peppers. Whether you prefer sweet bell peppers or fiery chili peppers, the combination of the olive's richness and the pepper's kick will tantalize your taste buds and add an exciting kick to your appetizer platter. * Anchovy-Stuffed Gordal Olives: Embark on a culinary adventure with a classic pairing of anchovies and Gordal olives. The umami-rich anchovies provide a bold contrast to the olive's brininess, resulting in a dynamic flavor explosion that is sure to be a hit with seafood lovers. * Garlic-Stuffed Gordal Olives: For those who adore the robust flavor of garlic, stuffing Gordal olives with whole cloves or garlic paste infuses them with a pungent and aromatic essence. The combination of garlic's earthy notes and the olive's unique texture creates a truly unforgettable appetizer experience. • Made by Iruela • Size: 12.85 oz (365 g) • Ingredients: Manzanilla olives, water, salt, antioxidants: citric acid, ascorbic acid and acidulant: lactic acid. • Product of Spain
