La Española Clásicas stuffed olives

La Española is one of the most iconic Spanish food brands, widely recognized as a market leader in the stuffed olive category. Founded in the 1940s, the brand pioneered the commercialization of olives stuffed with anchovies, a staple of Spanish aperitifs.

The brand is manufactured in Spain, primarily in the province of Alicante (specifically Alcoy), where the company maintains its production facilities. Although the olives themselves are a traditional Mediterranean product, La Española has successfully modernized its production to export to over 90 countries.

Ownership of the brand remains within the family-owned Spanish conglomerate Aceitunas Guadalquivir (AGOLIVES), which acquired the brand to strengthen its position in the international olive market. The company continues to operate as a Spanish entity with its headquarters in Seville, maintaining the brand's heritage as an authentic product of Spain.
