Fresh Raw Colossal Sevillano Olives, 20 lb Box

Fresh, uncured Sevillano olives historically selected at 24 mm and larger. The 2026 Colossal offer is now closed because the remaining crop no longer contains enough fruit at that size for us to guarantee the grade.

2026 Sevillano Harvest Update, October 3

The crop has now reached its golden green stage. We have closed both 100% Green—Firmest and Colossal sales for the remainder of the 2026 season.

All unfulfilled Sevillano orders are still on the trees. Triple-digit temperatures are forecast beginning the week of October 5, so we are suspending harvest and packing until the week of October 12, when temperatures are expected to return to about 78°F.

That will be our final Sevillano harvest week of 2026. Our 18–23 mm Jumbo Mix remains available for that final picking, subject to weather, fruit condition, and the quantity we can pack to our standards.

100% GREEN—FIRMEST AND COLOSSAL SEVILLANO ARE CLOSED FOR 2026. OUR FINAL SEVILLANO HARVEST IS PLANNED FOR THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 12.

Colossal and Jumbo Mix Sevillano

Our Colossal pack is reserved for Sevillano olives measuring 24 mm and larger. The 2026 crop has run smaller than last season, and too little fruit now meets that specification to support additional Colossal orders.

Our Jumbo Mix Sevillano measures 18–23 mm and spans the familiar commercial size names Large, Mammoth, Giant, and Jumbo.

Fruit 17 mm and smaller is not packed for shipment.

Fresh Raw Olives for Home Curing

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

Sevillano’s exceptionally dense flesh makes it well suited to lye curing, brining, and cracked or smashed olive preparations.

Curing Guidance

For tested home-curing guidance, see our Reader’s Guide to UC ANR’s Olives: Safe Methods for Home Pickling.

The Reader’s Guide helps you navigate the University of California’s peer-reviewed instructions for water curing, brining, dry-salt curing, lye curing, storage, and food-safety considerations.

Sevillano Size and Yield

Sevillano is one of the largest table-olive varieties. Colossal fruit measures 24 mm and larger; our Jumbo Mix measures 18–23 mm.

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 20 lb box will therefore fill roughly twenty 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, its large fruit has long been described using terms such as Queen, Jumbo, and Colossal, although commercial terminology varies.

Sevillano has a relatively large pit and a modest flesh-to-pit ratio. Its dense flesh and very low oil content help it retain a substantial texture through curing.

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