If you want to buy olives online with gourmet-shop quality, here they are.

Choose your olive

• Dressed: spicy verdial, morenas del sur and Sarasa's receta del cortijo; mediterráneas, lolitas and traviesas from Olivias by Tast. With the stone, as they should be.
• Gordal: the large olive from Seville, pitted in smoked oil with fine herbs from Finca La Barca or stuffed with Cantabrian anchovy from Hazas.
• Stuffed with anchovy: the classic of the Spanish aperitif, from Maestros Aceituneros.
• Kalamata: the Greek olive, purple and fleshy, in extra virgin olive oil from Kalios.

Gildas

The gilda is San Sebastián's most famous pintxo: olive, piparra chilli and anchovy on a cocktail stick. Here they are ready-made, with Cantabrian anchovy or boquerón from Hazas, double-anchovy limited edition from Codesa and a 25-piece tray from Olivias by Tast.

Pickles

Baby onions in balsamic vinegar of Modena from Sarasa and mild garlic in extra virgin olive oil from El Navarrico.

Before serving

Serve the olives with a little of their dressing and at room temperature, as they lose aroma when cold. Gildas freshly opened, with a vermouth or a txakoli.
