Losada Pitted Gordal Olives

Olive Variety: Gordal Pitted Olive

Curing Method: Conventional

Origin: Typical of Seville, Andalusia

Time of Harvest: September / October

Description: The name gordal means “the fat one” due to it’s round shape and large size (over 6gr).  Due to its low oil content it is exclusively used for table olives.  It has a fine delicate flavor, similar to manzanilla, and a firm, meaty texture.  Losada uses a neutral brine which results in a balanced salt to bitterness ratio, so that you can really taste the flesh of the olive. 

Serving Recommendations:  Otherwise known as queen olives, these olives can be enjoyed on their own or stuffed with any variety of items, from blue cheese to pickled garlic.
