Description
Turn up the flavour with our delicious Pitted Gordal Chilli Olives, crafted for those who like their tapas with attitude.
Each plump Gordal olive, famously known as the ‘Queen of Olives’, is hand-harvested from groves in southern Spain and gently marinated in a fiery chilli brine. The result is a bold, buttery olive with just the right level of heat to awaken your taste buds.
Perfect for sharing boards, cocktails, or cooking, these Spanish chilli olives bring sunshine and spice to every occasion.
Product info
The word Gordal translates to “fat” in Spanish, a nod to the olive’s generous size and satisfying texture.
Our version takes the classic Gordal and infuses it with carefully balanced Chilli — enough warmth to give a slight tingle, never too hot to overpower the olive’s natural buttery sweetness.
These olives are pitted for convenience, making them an easy and versatile addition to everything from salads and pizzas to marinades and mezze platters.
Prefer a milder option? Try our Pitted Gordal Olives — the same large, buttery variety without the chilli heat.
