The olives in this jar are lightly cracked in order to take full advantage of the herb, bay leaf, and garlic marinade. The result perfectly captures the flavors of Old Sevilla, down to the crunchy garlic clove, which is mild as mild can be. La Tienda is the only place you can purchase these olives outside of Spain. How we came to have these remarkable olives is another example of Spanish generosity. We were enjoying tapas one evening in Sevilla with the owner of a noted olive company. We were savoring tangy, firm cracked olives - one after another. We wondered out loud: "Oh, if we could ever get these in America." He was surprised to hear of the limited varieties of olives available in the United States. We had hardly returned home when a package arrived from our new friend, Antonio. He had sent a custom product from a recipe he had developed - succulent cracked Verdial olives marinated with cloves of garlic, oregano, sea salt and a bay leaf or two. They tasted just like the ones we'd had that night, or the ones I would see in barrels at the local municipal markets! Great when paired with aged Manchego cheese and sherry or beer.

Sweet, nutty and salty tastes intermingle to create this exceptionally flavored and generously sized olive. Gordal olives have a meaty texture and mild flavor. Discover the slight crunch and sweet flavor of an entire almond stuffed by hand into each mammoth olive! The gourmet almonds used to stuff these colossal Gordal olives are the Largueta variety, a favorite Spanish nut. Similar to the Marcona almond, but crunchier and lower in fat, these delicious bites are simple, pure and flavorful with a pinch of salt. Eat these tiny treasures right out of the jar, or place them in bowls at cocktail parties. Skewer them with cheese and peppers or add them to tapenades. We obtain these olives from a family-owned company in Carmona who stuff each olive by hand. Carmona is a charming city housed on a ridge overlooking Andalusia and is filled with delightful attractions such as a refurbished castle on the top of a mountain. We recommend serving these almond-stuffed olives chilled for the best flavor.

You don't want to do this yourself, you just want to enjoy them. No need to eat another olive and then quickly go to the feta chaser. You can have it all in one jar without having to expend any effort. Great as part of an antipasti or right out of the jar.

Gordals are truly the queen of olives, and these are among the best in Spain. Our large Gordals have a meaty texture and are light on salt so the true olive flavor comes through. Enjoy these plump olives as a tapa, on a fresh green salad or as a tasty addition to your next cocktail! Losada is a small family company in Carmona, outside of Sevilla, that makes their olives in small batches. They carefully select blemish-free Gordal olives and pack them in a mild brine so the salt does not overwhelm the pure olive flavor. We recommend serving these olives chilled or at room temperature according to your taste.
