Fresh Raw Undersize Sevillano Olives, 20 lb Box

Fresh, green, uncured Sevillano olives sorted from our regular production for their smaller size—not for defects. This 20 lb offer is released only when daily grading produces sufficient quantities.

2026 Undersize Sevillano Availability

We expect daily orchard deliveries of early Sevillano to begin Tuesday, September 8. Unlike our regular Sevillano boxes, the availability of this 20 lb undersize offer depends entirely upon how much sound, smaller fruit emerges from each day’s grading.

Quantities will be released only when the daily sort supports them and may appear or disappear throughout the harvest. Exact availability and shipping dates remain subject to fruit maturity, weather, orchard conditions, and grading results.

Sign up to be notified when the 20 lb undersize box becomes available for purchase. Notification requests do not reserve inventory. Availability is subject to harvest.

What Are Undersize Sevillano Olives?

These are sound, whole Sevillano olives sorted from our regular production because their average diameter falls below the grading size standard used for our full-size packs. They are smaller fruit, not damaged olives or processing culls.

Undersize Sevillano is offered at a lower price per pound than our regular packs. Each box contains a natural assortment of smaller sizes, generally including Mammoth, Large, and some Giant olives. Exact sizes and proportions will vary with the orchard, maturity, and daily sort. All millimeter measurements are averages.

Specific sizes cannot be requested. For a smaller quantity, choose our 10 lb box of undersize Sevillano olives. Customers seeking the characteristically larger Sevillano grades may instead choose our regular 10 lb box or regular 20 lb 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 dense flesh makes it well suited to lye curing, brining, and cracked or smashed olive preparations.

Curing Guidance Included

A QR code affixed inside the box lid links to our Fresh Olive Hub. There you will find the UC Davis safe-processing guide, along with our practical resources on measuring salt, preparing brine, and working with fresh olives.

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 or colossal olives, although commercial size descriptions vary.

Despite its impressive size, 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 and make it especially desirable as a table olive.

Sevillano is grown for curing and is not suitable for making olive oil.

Compare Fresh Olive Box Sizes and Prices

Prices vary according to fruit size and maturity. Undersize Sevillano is a limited-availability value offer consisting of sound, smaller fruit. Later harvests require more sorting and produce a higher percentage of culls. Ripe olives are a separate seasonal offer selected for color and oil content.

The 20 lb undersize box offers our lowest fresh-olive price per pound when 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 20 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.
