Gordal Olives From Losada

The gordal olive, also known as Sevillano or Queen olive, is native to Andalusia in southern Spain and produces large-caliber oval fruits that resemble plump “fat one.” As its name suggests, this variety is named “The Fat One.”

Losada offers these delicious olives in a neutral brine to achieve the ideal balance between salt and bitterness, highlighting their delicate gordal olive flavor. Enjoy these jumbo olives as an hors d’oeuvre or on top of fresh green salad leaves!

Early Life and Education

Gordal olives, grown in Andalucia, are large, meaty and juicy green olives with an irresistibly delicious briny taste that are great as part of an olive mix or for cocktails and antipasti platters. Their name translates to “the fat one,” making these an irresistibly tasty treat!

Early agriculturists chose varieties that came into bearing early and produced heavy yields even under droughty conditions, while being resistant to diseases and pests, growing well in poor soils, having low tolerance for water stress, and were easy to harvest.

These factors led to the establishment of large production areas across Spain, Portugal, North Africa, Italy, France and Greece as well as to an increase in use of oil for cooking purposes and medicinal needs. Losada cures their Gordal olives in mild brine brine that preserves their delicate flavors while at the same time being gentle enough for Western palates.

Professional Career

Gordal Olives, also known as queen olives’, are slow-cured using a third generation family recipe in low salt brine for maximum flavor and meaty texture. Their large size makes them the ideal accompaniment for cocktail parties and appetizer platters alike!

Manzanilla and Gordal olives from Seville have been granted temporary Spanish protection as PGI in order to gain entry onto the EU list of quality indicators, guaranteeing their authenticity as extra virgin oils and the distinct characteristics associated with each variety. This will protect their special status as European Union quality indicators.

Rep-PCR using GTG5 primer was used to isolate 554 LAB genotypes from biofilms on the fruit surface of Manzanilla, Gordal and Alorena cultivars processed either green Spanish-style or directly brined (natural). A-biodiversity indexes demonstrated that more LAB were found during processing with green Spanish-style rather than natural brine brining methods.
