Synonyms: Serrana, Falguera in Castellón and Valencia, Mas de Bot or Morrudel in Tarragona, also in Valencia referred to as Serrana de la Sierra, or Serraneta in Valencia, Sevillenc or Solivenc in Tarragona, and Serrana, or Serrana de Espadán in Castellón, Sevillenca (or Serrana) olives are a variety primarily cultivated in the Catalonia region of Spain, particularly in Tarragona. These olives are used for both olive oil production and table olives.
Sevillenca olives are small to medium in size and have an elongated shape. They are typically harvested when they have reached the desired ripeness, which can vary depending on the intended use. For olive oil production, they are usually harvested when fully ripe and have turned black.
The olives are known for their high oil content, making them suitable for oil production. The oil extracted from Sevillenca olives is typically of high quality, with a fruity and slightly sweet flavor profile. It is often prized for its smoothness and well-balanced taste.
When processed as table olives, Sevillenca olives are often brined or cured to reduce their natural bitterness and enhance their flavor. They can be enjoyed as a snack or used as an ingredient in various dishes.
