Olive ‘Manzanillo’ is one of the world’s most popular olive varieties, celebrated for its exceptional flavour and versatility. With its attractive grey-green foliage and naturally rounded form, it offers both ornamental beauty and abundant fruiting. The olives are plump, juicy, and rich in flavour — perfect for pickling, curing, or pressing into a smooth, aromatic oil.
This hardy variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it well suited to Australian climates. It is self-fertile, but planting another olive nearby can increase yields. Whether grown in the garden or a large pot, ‘Manzanillo’ brings a touch of Mediterranean charm and rewarding harvests year after year.
