For home cooks, hosts and olive lovers looking for an easy aperitivo with a little kick, Perelló Gordal Olives are big, crisp and satisfyingly fleshy, with guindilla chillies adding a gentle heat that builds as you eat. Open the tin, add something cold to drink and snacks are essentially sorted.
Gordal - meaning “the fat one” - is a large Spanish olive prized for its generous size and firm, buttery flesh. These pitted green olives are packed in a tangy brine with guindilla chillies, balancing natural sweetness and gentle salinity with a lingering spicy finish.
Serve them straight from the tin, add them to grazing boards or pair with cheese, charcuterie and good crackers. They're particularly useful for those evenings when you're not quite making dinner but somehow everyone needs feeding.
