Club del Gourmet Gordal Olives with Anchovy Flavor – 150g

Club del Gourmet's Gordal olives arrive pitted and steeped in a savory anchovy brine — a Spanish take on the salty, umami-forward preparations you find in top delis across Madrid and Barcelona. The Gordal variety, native to Andalucía, is prized for its meaty texture and large stone cavity that absorbs flavor readily. These 150-gram jars are designed for the tapa board: substantial enough to anchor a spread, refined enough to pair with vermouth or a crisp Albariño.

About this product

Each olive is hand-selected and brined with anchovy essence, delivering a briny, slightly funky depth that anchovy lovers will recognize immediately. The flavor is bold without being overpowering — think of it as an assertive accent rather than a dominant note. Glass-jarred in Spain by Club del Gourmet, El Corte Inglés' own gourmet range, these olives are shelf-stable and ready to open and serve.

How to enjoy

• Serve chilled as an aperitivo with Manchego cheese and cured chorizo.
• Pit and toss into a mixed salad with white beans and warm olive oil.
• Mash into a paste and spread on toasted bread with crème fraîche for an instant tapa.
• Add to a Dirty Martini in place of the standard green olive.

⭐ Why we love this

Gordal olives are Andalucía's gift to the olive world — meaty, substantial, and capable of holding bold flavors without losing their character. The anchovy brine elevates them from simple tapa to a sophisticated umami bomb, echoing the tradition of conservas (canned seafood preparations) that define Spanish coastal cuisine. This is not a mild, buttery olive; it's a statement piece for serious tapa boards.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve these alongside a chilled Fino sherry or a crisp Vinho Verde for maximum contrast — the salinity and funk of the anchovy brine will sing against dry, mineral wines. They're equally at home on a pintxos bar with aged Manchego, or paired with Spanish anchovy fillets (boquerones) and bread for an anchovy lover's dream.

📍 From Spain

Gordal olives originate in Andalucía, Spain's olive heartland, where they've been cultivated for centuries for their legendary size and tender flesh. Club del Gourmet sources and brines these olives in Spain, maintaining the quality standards of El Corte Inglés' premium gourmet range — a guarantee of authentic Spanish preparation and provenance.
