This attractively packaged tray offers classic Gildas. They are skewered anchovy fillets paired with pickled guindilla peppers and green olives. The combination balances salty, spicy, and briny flavours in a single bite. It is an iconic Basque pintxo that brightens any tapas board.
A bartender in San Sebastián invented the Gilda. He named it after Rita Hayworth for her role in the 1946 film Gilda. People celebrate the snack for its bold, contrasting flavours: anchovy, olive, and guindilla pepper on a stick. It became a beloved pintxo across northern Spain. Bars traditionally serve Gildas with a chilled drink.
- Eat them whole in one mouthful
- Enjoy them chilled straight from the tray as a tapa
