It is a prehistoric food

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][vc_column_text]One of the curiosities about olives according to most historians, olive cultivation began in the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras, and as early as 3,000 B.C. olives were one of the foods grown commercially in Crete.

 The olive tree is undoubtedly a tree of legend. Another curiosity about the olive is its origin, although it is lost in the desert of oblivion, it has a divine origin. According to Greek mythology, its origin lies in the dispute between Athena and Poseidon for the patronage of the city of Athens.

The god of the sea created the horse with his trident. This vigorous and swift creature had to compete with Athena’s creation, and the gods of Olympus had to choose which of the two was more suitable for the city. The goddess of war then created the olive tree, a tree whose fruit would provide food, strengthen people and give them light and warmth at night with its fire. The gods chose the olive tree of Athena, the goddess who gave her name to the city, which has since been called Athens.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][/vc_column][vc_column width=»1/2″][vc_empty_space height=»60px»][vc_single_image image=»3703″ img_size=»large» qode_css_animation=»»][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=»» row_type=»row» use_row_as_full_screen_section=»no» type=»full_width» angled_section=»no» text_align=»left» background_image_as_pattern=»without_pattern»][vc_column width=»1/2″][vc_single_image image=»3729″ img_size=»large» qode_css_animation=»»][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][/vc_column][vc_column width=»1/2″][vc_column_text]

Olives harvesting Milking off method

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][vc_column_text]It is the one used for the table olives harvesting and the one that we have been using in Escamilla Olives for 60 years. The olives are harvested by hand or with rakes suitable for this purpose. Its main advantage is the quality of the olives, which are not damaged and arrive in perfect condition to be classified.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][vc_column_text]

Beating

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][vc_column_text]This olives harvesting technique consists of shaking the branches of the tree with a wooden or fiber stick up to 4 meters long, in order to make the olives fall on plastic blankets that are spread under the olive tree. It is the most used, due to its productivity, although it is somewhat harmful to the olive tree.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][/vc_column][vc_column width=»1/2″][vc_single_image image=»3258″ img_size=»large» qode_css_animation=»»][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=»» row_type=»row» use_row_as_full_screen_section=»no» type=»full_width» angled_section=»no» text_align=»left» background_image_as_pattern=»without_pattern»][vc_column width=»1/2″][vc_single_image image=»3254″ img_size=»large» qode_css_animation=»»][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][/vc_column][vc_column width=»1/2″][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][vc_column_text]

Trunk shaking

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][vc_column_text]It is realised with vibrating machines, which embrace the trunk or branches of the olive tree and shake them, which makes the olives fall to the ground, to a blanket or to a harvesting umbrella.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][vc_column_text]

Ground collection

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][vc_column_text]After the olives fall directly to the ground, due to shaking, vibration or ripening, they are collected by sweeping machines, vacuum cleaners and blowers. This procedure has many disadvantages, since the fruit is spoiled and dirtied by dust or mud, which reduces the quality of the oil.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=»» row_type=»row» use_row_as_full_screen_section=»no» type=»full_width» angled_section=»no» text_align=»left» background_image_as_pattern=»without_pattern»][vc_column][vc_column_text]This olives harvest process is very important and decisive for the quality and condition of the fruit when it is dressed and packaged for sale to consumers, hotels and catering sector.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]

 WHAT ARE GORDAL OLIVES?

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][vc_column_text]Among all olives, gordal olives are a special variety of table olives. They are highly appreciated by consumers for their peculiar flavour, which gives every culinary dish a unique touch, capable of touching the palate and cutting short anyone's reason.

In this sense, if you have tried them and want to know the reasons why they are so exceptional, read on. You will be surprised.

If you are one of those who sit at the table and think that something is missing if there are no olives, you will surely recognise the so-called gordal olives. The gordal olive is a typical table olive whose cultivation takes place mainly in Seville. As a table olive, it is highly valued. This is due not only to its enormous size, but also to its high quality and extraordinary flavour.

The Sevillian gordal olive is one of the most appreciated families for consumption with pit. Its fleshiness and flavour stand out. Its name comes from the size of its fruit, which tends to be rounded and weighs about twelve grams. Gordal olives are consumed seasoned, filled or whole. They are one of the healthiest snacks, due to their high nutritional contribution of fiber and vitamins.

This variety is intended only for consumption as a table olive, since the oil content of the fruit is very low.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=»» row_type=»row» use_row_as_full_screen_section=»no» type=»full_width» angled_section=»no» text_align=»left» background_image_as_pattern=»without_pattern»][vc_column width=»2/3″][vc_column_text]

THE GORDAL OLIVE EXCLUSIVITY

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][vc_column_text]One of the most outstanding particularity of the gordal olive is that the best ones are grown in Seville. The Gordal of Seville is one of the most famous and difficult to find in other areas. Consequently, they acquire an aura of exclusivity and elitism in the international market.

It also make sense that people are attracted to them because of their increasing scarcity. This, in turn, increases their demand and, consequently, their price. This creates a dizzying circle of buying and selling that only increases their value on the market constantly.

At the same time, it should be clarified that there are specimens grown in other areas outside Seville, however, these do not have the same quality or taste that characterizes them.

In short, this type of olive stands out above others due to its rarity. However, there are many other unique qualities that differentiate it, as we will see later.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][/vc_column][vc_column width=»1/3″][vc_empty_space height=»25px»][vc_single_image image=»2806″ img_size=»large» qode_css_animation=»»][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=»» row_type=»row» use_row_as_full_screen_section=»no» type=»full_width» angled_section=»no» text_align=»left» background_image_as_pattern=»without_pattern»][vc_column width=»1/2″][vc_empty_space height=»200px»][vc_single_image image=»3908″ img_size=»large» qode_css_animation=»»][/vc_column][vc_column width=»1/2″][vc_column_text]

CHARACTERISTICS AND USES OF GORDAL OLIVES

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][vc_column_text]Among the properties that distinguish the gordal olive from other olives are the following:

1. SizeThese specimens are excessively large. To such an extent that they have about 12 grams per unit, compared to their counterparts, which only have a maximum of 7 grams.
2. ColourThese are harvested with a green colour, however, if left to ripen they reach a black pigmentation. In this aspect, it can be said that they are not only used for gastronomic purposes, but also serve as components to decorate some drinks or dishes.
3. PulpThey have a large amount of pulp, as a result of its unusual size. It should be noted that this is very delicate and generates certain problems for the companies in charge of its transport and care. However, this feature is not necessarily negative, since it has certain benefits in the culinary field.
4. ShapeThe shape of the piece: it has a slightly asymmetrical ovoid shape in its constitution. This detail is not very relevant, but it is certainly curious and useful in the gastronomic decoration sector.

Taking into account all of the above, it is safe to say that these olives are foods with unique characteristics. However, in spite of being special, they are not usable for anything in the food industry.

Thus, in spite of having a large amount of pulp, they are not very good for extracting olive oil, therefore, it is advisable to use them only as table olives.

In conclusion, the gordal is essential for anyone wishing to experience unique flavors and find new gastronomic horizons. Likewise, those from Seville, unlike those from other areas, are of high quality and have a special taste, which is why they are the most recommendable.

FLOWERING AND FRUIT

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][vc_column_text]The Sevillian gordal olive is extracted from a tree with few branches, but vigorous and with large leaves.

Flowering occurs early and fruit set is difficult. For this reason, the use of pollinators greatly improves production.

The fruit, during the ripening period, is dark green almost black. It is oval and elongated and is heart-shaped with few branches. The stone is elongated and has a pointed and slightly asymmetrical base.

In Escamilla Olives we are familiar with many types of olives. We also have a differentiated catalogue for hotels and homes, since we are aware that the needs in each case are different.

We work with gordal olives in several references such as gordal pitted olives Grandma's recipe, gordal whole olives with changing colour, gordal pitted olives with seasoning or gordal olives with mojo canario. Try the Escamilla gordal olive and you will be surprised by its flavour, quality and variety.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=»» row_type=»row» use_row_as_full_screen_section=»no» type=»full_width» angled_section=»no» text_align=»left» background_image_as_pattern=»without_pattern»][vc_column][contact-form-7][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Tips for preparing a good dressing

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][vc_column_text]

1. Eliminate bitterness

Today we want to tell you about dressings and how each variety of olive can be dressed.  First, the dressing will vary a lot according to the degree of ripeness of the olive, which means if the olive is green or black.  Green olives can be seasoned split, cracked, whole or crushed depending on the intensity of flavour you want to achieve and the time you want to keep them.

Whole olives, for example, will keep longer, but will have less of the dressing flavour than split olives, which will absorb more taste, but will last less time. Whole olives, for example, will keep longer, but will have less of the dressing flavour than split olives, which will absorb more taste, but will last less time.

2. The seasoning

Once chosen the dressing that is wanted to give them, with lemon, garlic, orange... it will be proceeded to remove the bitterness. It can be done with caustic soda, in mineral water with coarse salt.  Once the bitterness is removed, the olives are seasoned with the chosen spices.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=»» row_type=»row» use_row_as_full_screen_section=»no» type=»full_width» angled_section=»no» text_align=»left» background_image_as_pattern=»without_pattern»][vc_column width=»1/3″][vc_column_text]
