Aceituna Manzanilla de Sevilla

Aceituna Manzanilla de Sevilla is a renowned variety of Spanish olives, mainly grown around the Andalusian town of Seville. They are often used as table olives, but due to the high oil content, they can also be used for the production of olive oil.

The word manzanillo, meaning little apple in Spanish, refers to its regular and spherical shape resembling an apple. Aceituna Manzanilla de Sevilla has a well balanced, delicate, bitter-salty flavor, and it can be consumed in both green and black (ripened) state.

Manzanilla olives can be preserved in brine or marinated - they are often pitted and stuffed with garlic or pimento.
