2006 Crop of Fresh Olives

2006 Crop Update, September 6th.. The olives bloomed almost one month later than normal due to weather. We now expect that will mean the first harvest shipping will start about September 20th. The late bloom and rain have resulted in a crop of less volume & smaller fruit size than last year. The Lucques crop will be very short, so if you want these unique olives for curing, place your order as soon as possible (after Sept. 20th.) There will also be none of the "Colossal" sized Sevillanos this year, just "Jumbo", "Extra Large" and "Large".

So don't wait till the last minute to order. Prices will be slightly higher than last years'. Check in at our sales site at http://www.greatolives.com/FreshOlives.htm for the estimated price per box.

You can also check the post for last years crop and you might find answers similar to your own about the curing processes and the answers posted last year by myself, Maurice Penna.

On our website you can also check to see what the prices last year for the different varieties were.
