2005 Crop of Fresh Olives

The 2005 crop for fresh olives has been slightly delayed because of the extended period of cool weather we've experienced in Orland, California. As the crop develops in the next few weeks we will have pictures available and estimates for harvest times. The crop is developing normally.

Last year we offered Sevillano and Manzanilla. We plan to offer a new variety of olive this year, the Lucques olive.

To order fresh olives during the season of availability, please go to www.greatolives.com.

We have just posted a lye cure process today, 9-23-05.

Please come back for an ongoing discussion of fresh olives and how to cure them.
