Spain grows more than twice as many olives as the next largest global producer and processes them into olive oil and table olives. There are a huge number of olive varieties amongst which the most popular table varieties include Manzanilla, Verdial and Picual. These Gordal olives are green, crisp and fleshy with a touch of heat from the guindilla chillies in the marinade. Great Taste Award Winner 2020:  "These large, beautifully green olives are tangy and delicious. The brine has a bright, acetic aroma and the piquancy of the peppers fills the air. The flesh is firm, with a notably buttery texture for a pitted olive and the gentle salinity lifts the natural sweetness. The heat from the peppers is gentle but builds into a fiery finish that is long lasting. A delicious easy to eat olive." Also available in a 600g tin and 2kg tin for parties.

Freshest soft young sherry, bright acidity, sea air saltiness with hints of nuts & chamomile. Perfection. This Manzanilla has been aged for 8 years before bottling, making it a 'pasada' style. The extra ageing on a 'pasada' builds complexity, body and adds a hint of oxidation as the veil of 'flor' begins to thin. It is also an 'en Rama' or 'raw' Manzanilla meaning the wine has been bottled straight from the cask with no fining or filtration to preserve the body and freshness. The 'pastora', or 'sheperdess' was the first Manzanilla branch launched by Barbadillo in 1827. The brand was resurrected in 2014 to launch this wine - Barbadillo's finest Manzanilla.  Ideal with tuna empanada.
