Losada Pitted Gordal olives originate from Carmona, Spain, where the Losada family has been specializing in traditional olive cultivation and natural fermentation since 1961, growing a diverse array of olives. The Gordal, literally meaning “the fat one,” is a large-fruited Sevillian variety prized for its meaty texture and low oil content, making it ideal for snacking. After careful hand-harvesting, the olives are naturally cured in brine, free from artificial additives, thereby preserving their authentic flavor and avoiding excessive saltiness or acidity. The pitted format makes them exceptionally versatile, whether served as a classic Spanish tapa, added to charcuterie boards, or incorporated into salads and cooked dishes. Bright green in color with a firm bite, these Gordal olives exhibit mild salinity, fresh vegetal notes, and a clean, nutty finish, making them absolutely delicious. These are some of the best olives we have tasted, and their mild flavor pairs particularly well with wine compared to other varieties. They offer both an authentic taste of Southern Spain and a practical, ready-to-enjoy option for casual and refined settings.
