Goya Manzanilla Spanish Olives

Goya Manzanilla Spanish Olives are a signature product of Goya Foods, a brand deep-rooted in Hispanic culinary culture. These olives are grown and harvested in Spain, particularly known for the Manzanilla variety which is traditional to the Seville region. The manufacturing and packaging process typically takes place in Spain to ensure the authenticity and quality of the Mediterranean fruit before being imported to global markets.

The brand was founded in 1936 by Prudencio Unanue Ortiz and his wife Carolina, Spanish immigrants who started the business in Manhattan, New York. Over nearly a century, Goya has evolved from a small local storefront into the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the United States. Despite its massive growth and the common trend of corporate acquisitions in the 21st century, Goya Foods remains a privately held family business, owned and operated by the third generation of the Unanue family.
