Fresh Raw Manzanillo Olives, 10 lb Box

Fresh, uncured Manzanillo olives from our Corning harvest for home curing. We have closed the 2026 Manzanillo season because the fruit currently available can no longer consistently meet our standards for sound, clean olives through packing and transit.

2026 Manzanillo Harvest Update, October 3

We will not ship additional Manzanillo olives from the 2026 crop. Although we continued sorting carefully as the season progressed, the fruit now available to us is not consistent enough for us to stand behind it through packing and delivery.

All confirmed but unshipped Manzanillo orders are now on hold while we determine the best resolution for each customer.

Triple-digit temperatures are forecast beginning the week of October 5, so harvest and packing operations are suspended during the heat. By the week of October 12, when cooler weather is expected to return, we expect to know which alternate olive variety or varieties will be available.

We are evaluating olives with fruit size and oil composition similar to Manzanillo as possible substitutes.

MANZANILLO SHIPPING IS CLOSED FOR 2026. ALL UNSHIPPED MANZANILLO ORDERS ARE ON HOLD WHILE WE EVALUATE SUBSTITUTE OLIVES FOR THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 12.

If You Have an Unshipped Manzanillo Order

If you have already received a UPS tracking number, the shipping label has been created but your package has not been tendered to UPS. We are holding that label and will contact you directly.

The same applies if you have a confirmed Manzanillo order but have not yet received a UPS tracking number.

Once we know which suitable substitute olives are available, we will contact affected customers individually with the choice of a substitute, a full refund, or store credit. No substitution will be made without your approval.

Fresh Raw Olives for Home Curing

Fresh Manzanillo olives are sold raw, uncured, and untreated and must be cured before eating.

Manzanillo is a versatile table olive traditionally suited to lye curing, brining, and other home-curing methods.

Manzanillo Size and Yield

Manzanillo is naturally smaller than Sevillano, and each harvest produces a natural assortment of sizes. Exact proportions vary with the orchard and stage of maturity.

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 fills approximately 8 to 9 quart jars, depending on 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.

It is a dual-purpose olive used both for table-olive curing and for olive oil. Compared with Sevillano, Manzanillo has smaller fruit, a more favorable proportion of flesh to pit, and a higher oil content.

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

Final 2026 Manzanillo Availability

All Manzanillo sales and shipments are closed for the remainder of the 2026 season because the fruit currently available does not consistently meet our standards for packing and transit.

How Fresh Olives Ship

When available, Manzanillo olives are picked from Corning orchards, then sized, graded, and hand-packed at our Fresh Olive Rally Point in Corning for our afternoon UPS pickup.

No additional 2026 Manzanillo shipments will be released. Customers with confirmed unshipped orders will be contacted directly regarding substitute olives, a refund, or store credit.

All fresh olives ship by UPS Ground. The exact charge is calculated at checkout using American Olive Farmer’s discounted UPS merchant rate and passed through without markup.

Each 10 lb box ships separately with its own UPS label.
