20 lb Box Fresh Sevillano Olives

We are currently packing and shipping Monday-Friday 

PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING. The Sevillano crop is very light this year. Early harvest olives are sold out. We are taking orders for "mid harvest", although the fruit is still very green and firm. I am hoping to take orders through September 17th and ship through September 19th, depending on weather and labor. We are forecasting to be sold out by September 17th.

Each autumn California's 2 big canneries and numerous local families harvest the olive crop for brining green olives. If you're interested in trying to brine your own at home, we'll ship a 20 lb box of fresh Sevillano olives to you as long as your address is in the contiguous 48 US states.

Olives are harvested, packed, and shipped Monday through Friday, weather permitting. All shipment travel via UPS Ground charged at our discounted merchant rate as calculated from our zip code to yours.

During a typical year, Early, Mid, and Late Harvest waves are released for purchase separately as the crop matures; exact dates as determined by Mother Nature. Liz will do her best to keep you informed on this page. There will not be late harvest in 2025.

If 20 lbs is too ambitious we also offer a 10 lb box of Sevillano for $5 / pound.

2025 Sevillano Sizing Information

Because the crop is so light, the olives that are produced are larger than average size. Each box contains a mix of Super colossal, colossal, and jumbo sized olives this year averaging between 1" and 1.25". I was able to fit 38 to 40 olives (1 lb of raw olives) in a 1 quart wide mouth canning jar. If you like exceptionally large Sevillano olives, this is a good year to load up!

Note: olives are alternate bearing trees. 2024's heavy crop gave us smaller fruit, mostly jumbo and extra large, only 5% colossal and no super colossals. It is likely 2026 will return to the 2024 experience. Again, this year's olives are exceptionally large!]

General Sevillano Olive Information

Sevillano is a variety originating in Seville, Spain where they are known as Gordal, (the Fat One). These olives are are commonly marketed in the US as Queen olives or colossal olives, referring to their large size. They have a firm flesh and large pit with very little oil, making them ideal for curing but not too efficient for making olive oil. Not suitable for making olive oil.
