Aceituna Gordal de Sevilla

Aceituna Gordal de Sevilla, or Sevillian Gordal olive, is an olive variety grown exclusively in the area around Seville. It is one of the largest variety of olives in the world, with fibrous texture and plenty of firm, meaty flesh. The fruit contains very little oil, so they are only used as table olives.

Once boiled and fermented, they develop a straw yellow color, with little white spots or lenticels that make them stand out from other olives. Sevillian Gordal olives are best enjoyed with good jamon and a glass of sherry - due to their size, they are also often used in tapas.
