Mevalco's queen of pintxos has a name: Gilda!

History and Tradition: The queen of pintxos has a name: Gilda! Did you know that this iconic bite originated in the Basque Country and was named after Rita Hayworth, the famous actress? Its flavour is as bold as its name: olive, anchovy, and pickled chili, an explosion of flavours in one bite. Perfect to pair with a good wine or vermouth.

The Gilda: the perfect pintxo for flavour lovers. With the salty touch of anchovy, the intensity of olive, and the subtle spice of pickled chilli, you can’t go wrong.

Gildas and Moments: A Gilda in hand, a good chat, and the perfect moment. Because the best things in life come in small sizes. Pair them with a fresh vermouth or craft beer. It’s the ideal combination!
