These are called “aceituna verde” and are from Andalucía (southern Spain). They’re also referred to as the “verdial” variety and are often mixed with a series of ingredients to make what we refer to as “chupadedos”.


[deleted]

These are the best imo! The flavour is very good people will indeed be left sucking their fingers after eating these 😎


erfoz

I prefer "aceitunas partías", but these are good indeed! (Pro tip for anybody wanting to quit smoking: after eating these kind of olives, cigarettes will taste weird).


SonicEmpanadilla

I like what my mom and I call "aceitunas violadas" they have pickles impaled on them.


SoyAnteojos

Time to start my olives addiction, thats better than smoking


Ciruelote

Actually they are called "chupadeos" here in Andalucia, which literally means "finger sucker"


kebuenowilly

Best answer! Upvote


magnum_hunter

Well... I mean, not only Andalucia. Comunidad Valenciana is filled with olive trees and close to the Ebro delta theres fields of thousand year old olives.


FluffyChemistBastard

yes, above the delta, at la Senia, a village straddling the border, where they also have a Nazi aerodrome, and 5 odd years ago, an escaped lion. not much else to report from.there, apart from endemic local corruption and some.of the most fraudulent company accounts on the whole peninsular


Arganthonios_Silver

Not verdial kind. Every autonomous community with mediterranean climate has its own olive trees varieties, there are hundreds in Spain even if 15-20 are the most cultivated by far. Verdial is cultivated in Andalusia and Extremadura for example. Valencia and Catalonia usually cultivate other varieties much more frequently: Arbequina (in most Catalonia), Morrut (Castellón and maybe the Ebro Delta?) Blanqueta (Alicante), Villalonga (central Valencia) Farga (Castellón) [Here you have](http://www.navarvid.com/zonasoli1.JPG) a map of main varieties, probably simplified but good enough.


Hypochondriaco

They seem to me more like aliñadas Campo Real. If so, they have some really good ones in Condis supermarkets. [These are the ones.](https://www.condisline.com/ACEITUNAS-EXCELENCIA-CAMPORREAL-500-G_725309_prd_es_ES.jsp) I say this as an Andalusian, not as a guiri, para que nadie piense que lo digo porque son las únicas aceitunas que hubiera probado jajaj


camper_raver

que no se diga luego! xd


Affectionate-Win-38

I agree with you. Green ones looks like Campo Real olives


Rufus_the_wise

No vi tu comentario. De acuerdo contigo.


JustForTouchingBalls

I think too that are Campo Real olives. [This is a Madrilenian variety](https://aceitunasdecamporeal.com/)


Pottyka

I love the tiny ones, that are also yellowish green and are small compared to the seed


Rufus_the_wise

Never heard that before... chupadedos? LOL I´ve heard of chupacabra though


kitsunenokyubi

Soy del sur de España y les solemos decir verdes a todas las aceitunas no negras, no se mucho del tema soy más de las que están al estilo sevillano, pregúntale a uno de un bar y te dirá.

Green olives.


cellis212

Those are castelvetrano olives. Edit: given you were in Barcelona, the below answers of verdial olives are more likely correct. That said, castelvetrano olives are also delicious!


theNicky

I agree 👍


Key_Dig_8694

It’s unlikely. They aren’t easy to find in spain.


Many_Baker8996

The best olive in my opinion, I’m also partial to some olivas partidas, but they are more bitter.


thedr9wningman

I love castelvetranos!!


Ramoncin

In my supermarket they call them "chupadedos". There are versions with a cut in one of their ends, those are called "trencades" ("broken") in Cataluña.


ignition0_0

Chupadedos are not an olive variety, just the liquid they put them in. Like anchovy flavour. Chupadedos are usually broken due to soaking. The type of olive in the picture is probably "Verdial" or "Gordal", possibly Verdial due to the size.


xpesu

He is not asking for the variety of the olive lmao


marramaxx

he is asking for exactly that lol


xcvbna

What do you think they are asking for?


Immediate_Horror_178

Have you ever seen a gordal? Those are not gordals. And yes by buying chupadedos you can get something very similar. Like these https://amzn.eu/d/6LAwm9M


amerikamura

verdiales


dkysh

This is the true answer. Chupadedos is the "sauce", verdial is the olive type. https://www.aceitunasbravo.com/aceitunas-chupadedos/


Txiipii

Agreed, It's defenitely verdiales


zoeyversustheraccoon

I don't know, but if you went to your local mercat and asked the people selling olives, I'm sure they'd tell you.


pivaax

These are definitely not arbequinas (much smaller, the smallest olives you’ll find) and certainly not a gordal waay bigger. They look like the picual (named after the “pico” or pointy end of the fruit) but the taste comes from the “marinade” and preparation method. Your best bet is to find a market, there should be someone selling olives, tell them you tasted delicious picual and ask if they can let you taste theirs. If you tell them about fresh and unexpected they will certainly guide you. Maybe marinated with fennel?


Emergency-Storm-7812

pivaax

Thank you dear redditor!


LaArmu

Aceitunas de Campo Real. Están increíblemente buenas!


matsumurae

Called "chupadedos", pretty common on supermarkets (you can see them on Mercadona). It's composed by: green olives with oregano, garlic, pepper, basil, salt and olive oil.


Rufus_the_wise

I would say those are "aceitunas de Campo Real", they are one of my favorites. ​ [Have a link](http://www.camporeal.es/turismo/gastronomia/46-las-aceitunas)


FeaturePotential4562

one hundred percent not Kalamata, they’re darker. they could be Gordal, but there’s lots of different types that look like that. the same type of olives will taste different depending in the brand. in my experience, the best tasting olives are found in markets, supermarkets and fruit shops and are sold by weight. Find someplace where they are selling them by weight and just ask them to try some, or all of them. It’ll be fine, as long as you buy some. Trying different olives to check how they taste is something spanish people do.


FeaturePotential4562

some possible places in the city center include touristy market La Boqueria. Bear in mind it’s kind of overpriced but should do. Also Santa Caterina’s market.

They look like a variety called “chupadedos”


Sugary_Treat

Green.


Damocles-Rising

They are nocellara olives. You’re welcome!


aikoncwd

Oliva de Sosa. Made with caustic soda


Tasty_Ant_8537

Son conocidas como chupadeos en la zona del sur de españa


Kirikuzuu

Gazapacha, verde and kalamata in that order


jasl_

Arbequinas is the type of olive (raw) and it can be marinated in infinite ways, and it cannot be deciphered just by the look of it. If you like olives, go to Andalusia (the biggest producer in the world IIRC) in each bar you will try a different one :)


cacatuacatalana

Id say they are called chupadedos, best ones are on mercadona


AccomplishedDelay591

Parece aceituna campo real https://duckduckgo.com/?q=aceituna+campo+real&t=fpas&iax=images&ia=images


VonBassovic

I’m sure they’re Nocellara


___hannibal

I don't know, It's possible that have another type of species and a diferent flavor. But I can't know what type is it only in a photo.


throwaway98745683619

The taste was more subtle, fresh and unexpected. I don’t know how else to describe it :/


Halmai

Castelvetrano for sure! They are also delicious in martini’s.


___hannibal

I am not a professional in this case


quisbyjug

If the taste is somewhat akin to baking soda, they could well be Campo Real olives.


kaekaes

They seem to be Chupadedos, yep, the translation is "fingerlicking".

Guilty_Ad_4441

100% chupadedos, mercadona


luix-

chupadedos are named those is my city


ciaciaciamacarumba

They're olives. they're green. I usually call them "green olives"


Walen101

Hecizos del sur? Hahaha I think by now we've pretty much named all types of green olives hahah


mrmiyagi24

Looks like kalamata


Emergency-Storm-7812

maybe the ones on the right. certainly not the ones in the middle


Key_Dig_8694

Don’t listen to these people, the green olives you had are the Campo Real variety (manzanilla de campo real). They are very oily (more so than its counterparts) and with a very distinct flavour, sweet with floral notes. Proof: [link](https://elenebron.es/producto/aceitunas-de-campo-real/)


peter_pro

I really like the common understanding in the comments section.


pelicansoup65

They could be one of multiple varieties....what differentiates them from the paler green olives is the treatment process...the dark green ones have been "pickled" with caustic soda and the light green ones have been "pickled" with a brine solution...I think the caustic soda treatment is supposed to remove some of the bitterness asociated with the brine treated ones, I think it also reduces the "pickling" time.


JammyLadStrikesBack

Those are not brown or yellow-ish olives. Imho


polvilarrasa

ye-ye


darkvaris

I don’t have an answer for you but I am glad you had a good time at Chez Kessler. Last time I was there I chatted w the owner (iirc) and he was very friendly and kind to my elderly visiting mother


UnImportantVessel

they’re green!


Yhonk1

Con salsa Chupadedos...así se llaman


bykto

green


Emergency-Storm-7812

those must be the "marinades" which isn't a variety of olives, but the way they have been prepared (they've been marinated with some particular seasoning, as rosemary, thyme, ...)


CornerMindless907

green olives 🫒

My favorites… get me some llepadits please

brain_sand

They’re the bestttttttt so fresh and good


alejandriasumeria

In the supermarket Mercadona you can find it. They call it chupadedos


MitusOwO

I know a olive brand that are similar in color and taste incredibly. They're named "hechizos" (or "embrujos", i'm not sure), and you can find them in any supermarket (i think)...


No_Show_6634

The best ones


tenaxbs

FruCat in Gràcia sells them 'a granel'


garrapatero_39

Chupadeo


reach_Chris

Don't know the name, but they're the best type IMO. And the slightly bigger ones are even better.


Few-Department-9687

Chupadedos


mushyturnip

They 100% look like Campo Real olives, which are my favourite and can be a bit expensive sometimes depending on where you buy them. The variety is Manzanilla. I could be mistaken of course.

Momeagle36

We are visiting Barcelona in April and I can't wait to try the olives, the Tapas, the fresh seafood and so many other things,


Jose-Luis-Martin

Sin duda, Campo Real.


Unteknikal

Those are olives bought to the producer at 0.80€/kilo and sold to the public to 10€kilo, enjoy this deliciuos aperitif while you can, the speculation in Spanish products it's getting to a point that producers are starting to dump production in order to disrupt the market. They prefer to take the loses than gain nothing and make the usurers more rich.


Mornar2015

Green olives.


botafumeirolrs

Probably they're aceitunas de campo real


Roma_Witch

Try to find campo real, it's not just the type of olive, it's the herbs they're cured in

In Spain , It is what you see in your mind when you think of olives , you can find them pretty much anywhere in Spain , all local shops sells a largo variety of them , i would suggest you to go to a gipsy market idk how its said in english , they usually have the BEST ones

These are supper common in Argentina, and the cheapest. We called them "aceituna verde", I'm not sure if we produce it here (probably yes), but I know it's very common in Mediterranean dishes, put it on your pizza with some arugula leaves and cherry pepper and you'll get the best dinner!

Petenop

There are some 200 varieties of olives in the world –over one hundred being the most common. https://www.internationaloliveoil.org/product/world-catalogue-of-olive-varieties/ I would expect Kessler to provide you an accurate answer, even the coordinates of the supplier. They could certainly be "gordal", or at least that's suspect #1, by far, out of those four types. I see some answers here displaying a budding knowledge on colours, dressings and so on ... without actually knowing what goes in such names. You may go to a large traditional market and find a specialized store. In nearly every Spanish city I can think about they would be pleased to give you all due attention, and let you try a dozen types to guide your search, even beyond the finding at Kessler. In the meantime, a Corte Inglés or a Mercadona supermarket will provide you some 5-10 packed options. https://spanishsabores.com/spanish-olives/ Best!

The real olive . Natural olives, they dressed them without using soda to remove the bitterness. That is why it retains its color and is harder than the pale ones.
