Why Perelló Ingredients Are Everywhere Right Now

If you have spent any time on TikTok food trends recently, you will have noticed the rise of the Spanish style grazing board. Not just cheese and crackers, but tapas tables filled with glossy Gordal olives, guindilla chillies, marcona almonds, ribbons of Ibérico ham, and good olive oil with bread.

What people are really searching for is quality.

Perelló has become one of the most sought after names in Spanish tapas ingredients online because their jars feel like the sort of thing you would be served in a good bar in Barcelona. Their olives are full-bodied, their pickles have real crunch, and everything tastes considered. It is the difference between something you add to a dish, and something that becomes the dish.

Gordal Olives: The Tapas Trend Worth Knowing

If there is one ingredient having a moment, it is the Gordal olive.

People often ask, what are Gordal olives? The answer is wonderfully simple. They are large Spanish green olives, prized for their meaty, buttery texture. Sometimes called the queen olive, they are deeply satisfying, the kind you serve in a bowl with a drink and watch disappear within minutes.

Perelló Gordal Pitted Olives Picante are especially popular right now, not just because they look beautiful on a board, but because they taste so good. Mild, rich, gently briny, with a subtle warmth. They are also one of the best olives for martinis, which explains their sudden appearance across cocktails and sharing platters everywhere.

At Infusions4Chefs, we stock them in three sizes, from a small jar for an easy Friday aperitivo, to larger options for entertaining, catering, or serious olive lovers.
