And with more than 90% of them you can produce Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Yes, 276 reasons to feel proud. And, above all, to enjoy. Olives arrived on the Iberian Peninsula more than 3,000 years ago, brought by the Phoenicians and Romans. Since then, the olive tree not only put down roots in our land: it became culture, landscape, and gastronomic excellence. Today, almost all Spanish regions grow olives. From Andalusia to Catalonia, from Castilla-La Mancha to Extremadura. Each territory contributes unique nuances. Each variety, its own character. In Made in Spain Gourmet we select some of the most emblematic so you can taste them at their fullest expression. For table olives, we work with varieties like Manzanilla, Gordal, Arbequina and Kalamata, perfect to enjoy on their own, in Mediterranean salads, in a classic Gilda, alongside a vermouth, or as an elegant appetizer before a special dinner. In EVOO, the range expands with Picual, Cornicabra, Sikitita, Arbosana and many more. Each offers a different profile: greener, fruitier, more intense, more delicate. Extracting their soul is an art. And combining their nuances, a privilege. Besides pleasure, olives provide real benefits to the body: healthy fats, natural antioxidants, vitamin E and anti-inflammatory compounds. They are balance, flavor and wellness in pure form. In our store you will find carefully selected brands with strict standards: Les Garrigues, Románico, De la Cueva for table olives.
