Fresh Raw Manzanillo Olives, 10 lb Box

Fresh, green, uncured Manzanillo olives grown in Northern California for home curing. Manzanillo becomes progressively more tender as the fruit matures.

2026 Manzanillo Harvest Update, August 17

After three disappointing orchard visits, we found the Manzanillo crop we were looking for with an old friend. His trees are carrying plentiful, clean fruit that is sizing nicely, and we are comfortable accepting preorders for the 2026 harvest.

Manzanillo will follow Sevillano through our picking and packing schedule. We currently expect new Manzanillo orders to begin shipping the week of September 14.

Preorders for 100% Green—Firmest Manzanillo remain open for now. The 100% green stage is a short harvest window. The fruit continues to mature on the tree, and we will close this option when we can no longer confidently harvest and pack outstanding orders while the olives are still at their firmest green stage.

We are also opening preorders for Green-Yellow—slightly more tender and Green with Magenta Blush—most tender. These later maturities will be harvested separately as the crop naturally advances. Exact shipping dates remain subject to fruit maturity, weather, and orchard conditions.

If 100% Green—Firmest fruit is important to you, we recommend ordering while that maturity remains open. Orders are filled in the order received.

Back-in-stock notifications are alerts only; they do not reserve fruit or a place in the harvest queue. An order must be placed to enter the queue.

Fresh Raw Olives for Home Curing

These freshly harvested Manzanillo olives are sold raw, uncured, and untreated. They must be cured before eating.

Whether you are continuing a family tradition or preparing olives for the first time, Manzanillo is a versatile table olive well suited to lye curing, brining, and other traditional home-curing methods.

The 10 lb box is a practical choice for a smaller household batch or for customers trying a curing method for the first time. We also offer a 20 lb box of Manzanillo olives , which provides our best standard price per pound.

Curing Guidance Included

Manzanillo Size and Yield

Manzanillo is naturally smaller than Sevillano, and each box contains a natural assortment of sizes produced by the orchard and available at the selected stage of maturity. Exact proportions vary during the harvest.

In our packing test, approximately 19.3 ounces of fresh Manzanillo olives filled a one-quart wide-mouth canning jar. As a planning estimate, a 10 lb box should fill approximately 8 to 9 quart jars, depending upon fruit size and how tightly each jar is packed.

About Manzanillo Olives

Manzanillo originated in Spain and is one of the varieties most closely associated with California table olives.

Manzanillo is a dual-purpose olive used both for table-olive curing and for olive oil. Compared with Sevillano, it has a smaller overall fruit size, a more favorable proportion of flesh to pit, and more oil in the flesh.

The fruit becomes increasingly tender as it matures, making maturity at harvest an important consideration when choosing Manzanillo for home curing.

Compare Fresh Olive Box Sizes and Prices

Prices vary according to maturity. Ripe olives are a separate seasonal offer selected for color and oil content.

The 20 lb box offers our best standard price per pound.

Prices shown are for the olives only. UPS Ground shipping is calculated separately at checkout.

How Fresh Olives Ship

During harvest, olives are picked from Corning orchards early each morning, then sized, graded, and hand-packed at our Fresh Olive Rally Point in Corning for our afternoon UPS pickup. We work to avoid overnight carryover; any limited carryover is reserved for nearby destinations rather than cross-country shipment.

All fresh olives ship by UPS Ground. The exact charge is calculated at checkout using American Olive Farmer’s discounted UPS merchant rate and is passed through without markup. UPS may apply a remote- or extended-area surcharge based on the delivery address.

Each 10 lb box ships as a separate package with its own UPS label. Multiple-box orders are therefore charged per package. We have compared the alternatives carefully: several manageable cartons cost less to ship than one exceptionally heavy carton.

Each olive variety is packed separately. We cannot combine Manzanillo and Sevillano in one box because the varieties may be harvested, graded, and packed at different times.
