 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 flavor, which gives every culinary dish a unique touch, capable of touching the palate and cut 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 recognize 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 flavor.

The Sevillian gordal olive is one of the most appreciated families for consumption with pit. Its fleshiness and flavor 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 Sevilla 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. Size: These 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. Color: These are harvested with a green color, 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. Pulp: They 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. Shape: 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 Aceitunas Escamilla we are familiar with many types of olives. We also have a differentiated catalog 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 Receta de la Abuela, gordal whole olives with changing color, gordal pitted olives with seasoning or gordal olives with mojo canario. Try the Escamilla gordal olive and you will be surprised by its flavor, 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]
