Fresh Raw Sevillano Olives, 10 lb box

Fresh, green, uncured Sevillano olives grown in Northern California for home curing. Sevillano has exceptionally dense flesh and remains relatively firm at every stage of maturity.

2026 Sevillano Harvest Update, August 17

Demand for the 2026 crop is running well ahead of last year. We have added five picking and packing days beginning Monday, August 31, ahead of our originally advertised September 8 start. Even with those additional days, the first two weeks of our Sevillano picking and packing schedule are now fully committed.

Preorders for 100% Green—Firmest Sevillano remain open for now. Orders placed today will join the next available harvest queue, currently beginning the week of September 14.

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.

Back-in-stock notifications are alerts only; they do not reserve fruit or a place in the harvest queue.

A Good Year for Smaller Sevillano

The crop is also giving us a generous supply of sound, smaller Sevillano this year. These olives are not culls. They are smaller fruit sorted from the same Sevillano harvest and offered separately from the large fruit packed in our standard boxes.

For customers who care more about the variety and its curing qualities than maximum fruit size, Undersize Sevillano offers the best value in the harvest. We are offering both 10 lb and 20 lb boxes this season.

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. We also offer a 20 lb box of Sevillano olives , which provides our best standard price per pound.

Curing Guidance Included

Sevillano Size and Yield

Sevillano is one of the largest table olive varieties. Our standard boxes contain a natural assortment of the large fruit produced by the orchard and available at the selected stage of maturity. Exact proportions vary during the harvest.

Undersize Sevillano is the same variety, sorted separately because it falls below the size range reserved for our standard boxes. Smaller does not mean defective.

Because Sevillano is exceptionally large and densely fleshed, the fruit is especially satisfying for cracked, smashed, brined, and lye-cured preparations.

As a planning estimate, one pound of fresh Sevillano olives generally fills approximately one quart jar, depending upon 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, these exceptionally large olives may also be sold as Queen, Jumbo, or Colossal olives, although commercial size descriptions vary.

Despite its impressive size, 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. Undersize Sevillano is sound smaller fruit sorted from the same harvest and offered at a lower price. Ripe olives are a separate seasonal offer selected for color and oil content.

The 20 lb box offers our best standard price per pound when that size is available.

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