Fresh Raw Colossal Sevillano Olives, 10 lb box

Fresh, green, uncured Sevillano olives selected at 24 mm and larger—the largest fruit we are packing from the 2026 harvest. Known in Spain as Gordal, Sevillano is an exceptionally large table-olive variety with dense flesh and excellent curing character.

2026 Sevillano Harvest Update, September 23

The 100% Green—Firmest stage of ripeness is naturally short and is now coming to a close.

If 100% green fruit is important to you, please place your order on or before Sunday, September 27, so we can include it in next week’s harvest and packing schedule. After that date, we cannot guarantee 100% Green—Firmest fruit and will move to the next stage of ripeness as the crop advances.

Green-Yellow and Green with Magenta Blush fruit will be harvested separately as the crop continues to mature.

Sorting throughout the 2026 harvest confirms that this year’s Sevillano crop is running smaller than last year’s. We are selecting fruit measuring 24 mm and larger for this Colossal pack.

Customers should expect a greater proportion of olives around 24–25 mm than last season. We are seeing fewer olives above 26 mm and very little fruit at the extreme upper end of the size range this year.

This is a difference in size distribution, not fruit quality. The olives are sound and carefully selected, with Sevillano’s characteristic dense flesh and excellent curing qualities.

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.

What Is Our 24 mm+ Colossal Sevillano Pack?

This box is reserved for Sevillano olives measuring 24 mm and larger. It contains the largest fruit we are selecting from the 2026 harvest.

Each box contains a natural assortment within that range. Exact sizes and proportions vary with the orchard, maturity, and daily sort. Specific sizes cannot be requested.

In the United States, large Sevillano olives have long been marketed using familiar size terms such as Queen, Jumbo, and Colossal. Commercial terminology varies, so we use the measured 24 mm minimum to make the contents of this pack clear.

Two Sevillano Size Selections

We are sorting the 2026 Sevillano harvest into two customer-facing size ranges.

The 24 mm+ Colossal selection contains the largest fruit selected from the harvest and packed in this offer.

Our Jumbo Mix Sevillano measures 18–23 mm and spans the familiar commercial size names Large, Mammoth, Giant, and Jumbo. Because commercial terminology varies, the measured range provides the clearest description of what is actually in the box.

The Jumbo Mix is sound fruit from the same harvest and is the size range we previously offered as “Undersize Sevillano.”

Fruit 17 mm and smaller is not packed for shipment.

Customers who need a larger quantity may choose our 20 lb Colossal Sevillano box or our 20 lb Jumbo Mix Sevillano box.

Fresh Raw Olives for Home Curing

These freshly harvested Sevillano 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, Sevillano’s large size and exceptionally dense flesh make it well suited to lye curing, brining, and cracked or smashed olive preparations.

The 10 lb box is a practical choice for a smaller household batch or for customers trying a curing method for the first time.

Sevillano Size and Yield

Sevillano is one of the largest table-olive varieties. This Colossal pack contains fruit measuring 24 mm and larger, selected during daily sizing and grading.

The natural size distribution changes throughout the harvest. A 24 mm minimum therefore does not mean every olive in the box will be the same size; it defines the lower limit for this selection.

As a planning estimate, one pound of fresh Sevillano olives generally fills approximately one quart jar, depending on fruit size and how tightly the jar is packed. A 10 lb box will therefore fill roughly ten quart jars.

About Sevillano Olives

Sevillano originated in Seville, Spain, where the variety is known as Gordal, meaning “the fat one.” In the United States, the characteristically large fruit has long been sold using size terms such as Queen, Jumbo, and Colossal, although commercial size descriptions vary.

Sevillano carries a relatively large pit in proportion to its flesh. Its dense flesh and very low oil content help it retain a substantial texture through curing and make it especially desirable as a table olive.

Sevillano is grown for curing and is not a practical choice for making olive oil at home.

Compare Fresh Olive Box Sizes and Prices

Prices vary according to fruit size and maturity. Our Jumbo Mix is an 18–23 mm assortment spanning the familiar Large, Mammoth, Giant, and Jumbo size names. It is sound fruit selected from the same harvest and offered at a lower regular price. The 24 mm+ Colossal packs are reserved for the largest fruit we select from the crop. Ripe olives are a separate seasonal offer selected for color and oil content.

Prices shown are regular prices 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.

For regular harvest orders, an order may wait approximately seven business days before its fruit is harvested. We do not harvest an order’s olives and then hold them for seven days. The lead time reflects the orders ahead of yours; fruit is harvested as we are ready to process and ship it.

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 Sevillano and Manzanillo in one box because the varieties may be harvested, graded, and packed at different times.
