Gildas Double Anchovy Club del Gourmet – Spanish Gourmet Snack 250g

Gildas are a Basque classic: a single skewer threading together anchovy, olive, and guindilla pepper in perfect balance. This Club del Gourmet double anchovy version elevates the tradition by wrapping two anchovy fillets around the olive and pepper core, creating a more substantial bite with deeper umami from the sea. Each 250-gram jar delivers the refinement of hand-assembled preparation and the briny intensity that makes Gildas a fixture on Spanish pintxos bars.

The anchovy here is mild and buttery—not the aggressive salted variety—allowing the brine of the green olive and the gentle heat of the guindilla to shine. Glass-bottled in oil, they arrive ready to serve from the jar or to anchor a composed appetizer plate.

How to enjoy

• Straight from the jar as a drink-side tapa, one or two at a time.
• Arrange on a slate board with Spanish cheese and cured meats for a gourmet platter.
• Spear onto crusty bread for an open-faced montadito.
• Add to a composed salad with white beans and sherry vinegar.
• Pair with a crisp Txakoli or dry Albariño.

⭐ Why we love this

Gildas represent the pinnacle of Basque pintxo culture—a seemingly simple trio that demands precision and respect. The double anchovy upgrade delivers authentic depth without compromise: two buttery fillets amplify the umami complexity that makes this snack a benchmark of Spanish bar tradition, where quality anchovy is non-negotiable.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve these with a chilled Txakoli (the Basque wine referenced in the original description) or a crisp Albariño from Galicia—the acidity cuts through the oil and anchovy richness perfectly. Equally at home with a dry Fino sherry as a before-dinner tapa, or alongside Spanish Manchego and jamón ibérico on a composed board.

📍 From Spain

Sourced directly from Spain's Basque region, where Gildas originated as the signature pintxo of San Sebastián's storied bar culture. Club del Gourmet, El Corte Inglés's premium selection, honors this heritage by hand-assembling each skewer with Basque tradition and uncompromising ingredient standards.
