It's this very tradition, passed down from mother to daughter for decades, that Jolca sought to preserve without ever betraying its essence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSince 1961, the Gutiérrez family has perpetuated this savoir-faire in Huévar del Aljarafe, at the gates of Seville. This Traditional Mix brings together two olive varieties less known than Manzanilla but equally rooted in Andalusian soil: Picual, firm and slightly bitter, and Verdial, sweeter and fleshier—both \"partidas,\" meaning split raw to better absorb the aliño of spices and herbs that gives them their full character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eOn the palate, you first encounter that particular texture of the partida olive—less smooth than a whole olive, almost rough, which allows the seasoning to permeate all the way to the pit. The Picual contributes a distinct, almost piquant hint of bitterness, while the Verdial softens the whole with its tenderer flesh. The garlic and herbs of the aliño then settle in, lingering long after the last bite—a taste that is anything but discreet, assertive, reminding you that you're far from a standardized supermarket olive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eYou don't buy it for \"just another olive\" to casually snack on in front of the TV. You buy it for that little rustic shock, that flavorful taste that evokes an Andalusian grandmother's cooking, where nothing was ever done by halves. An ordinary Tuesday, somewhere in Canada, transforms, for an aperitif, into the memory of a shaded patio where olives were cracked by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy our customers love it:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e🫒 The Picual and Verdial duo, two rustic varieties typical of Andalusia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e🧄 A traditional garlic and herb aliño, prepared with artisanal expertise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e🇪🇸 Jolca brand, master olive growers since 1961 in Seville\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e🌶️ A more rustic and assertive taste than classic olives—for palates that appreciate character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e✅ Practical canned format, long shelf life before opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe small jar that reminds you a true Spanish olive is never bland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Jolca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44599023272001,"sku":null,"price":8.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/0024\/1985\/files\/Sanstitre_15.png?v=1789525050","url":"https:\/\/lessaveursdeurope.ca\/en\/products\/mix-traditionnel-dolives-picual-et-verdial-fendues-en-alino-370g-jolca-saveur-rustique-et-epicee-dandalousie","provider":"LesSaveursDeurope.CA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
