In essence, the Manzanillo olive tree is a beautiful, silvery-green evergreen that becomes picturesquely gnarled with age. Its fruit, the Manzanillo olive, is a large, round, “little apple” prized for its thick, buttery flesh, mild flavor, and perfect suitability for curing as a green table olive. It is the workhorse of the table olive industry, beloved for its classic texture and taste — truly the “King of Olives from Spain.”
