These manzanilla olives are green, with a firm and meaty texture and are slightly spicy with a lightly bitter, briny flavour. Marinaded with guindilla chillies to add spiciness.

Manzanilla are the most popular olive in Spain.

Serving suggestion: The perfect snack eaten on their own or they can also be added to salads, cocktails and dressings.

In 1964 Gaspar Perelló opened a stall in Barcelona’s famous Boqueria Market to sell the local Arbequina olives; his range grew, as did his reputation, and soon expanded to include some of the best olives from all over Spain.
