Harvest Season in Egypt: The Story Behind Picual, Manzanilla, and Azizi Olives

Harvest Season in Egypt: The Story Behind Picual, Manzanilla, and Azizi Olives

A Season of Precision and Tradition

Every autumn, when the air turns mild and the groves glow in shades of green and gold, the olive harvest begins across Egypt’s fertile lands.
For Two Brother, this season is more than a yearly cycle — it’s the heart of our work. It’s when months of careful cultivation finally turn into products trusted in markets worldwide.

Three Varieties, One Commitment to Quality

Our harvest brings together three distinct olive varieties, each with its own character and purpose:

• Picual – known for its firm texture and balanced oil content, perfect for both table and industrial use.

• Manzanilla – prized for its mild flavor and smooth skin, making it ideal for premium table olives.

• Azizi – a local Egyptian gem, offering a bold, authentic taste that captures the essence of Mediterranean soil.

Each variety is picked at its precise moment of ripeness, ensuring the right texture, flavor, and stability for export.

From Field to Factory — A Seamless Journey

The process begins in our groves, where handpicking ensures only the best olives are selected.
Once harvested, they move through gentle washing, sorting, and brining — under strict international standards (ISO, HACCP).
Every batch is tracked and tested, maintaining full traceability from the farm to the final container.

From Egypt to Global Markets

Egypt’s olive season is a celebration of nature and expertise.
At Two Brother, we combine both — blending traditional farming knowledge with modern processing technology.
That’s how our Picual, Manzanilla, and Azizi olives reach customers across Europe, the Middle East, and North America with the same freshness, firmness, and Mediterranean character they had at harvest.

The Taste of the Season

The harvest is a moment of pride — proof that consistency, care, and timing can turn a simple fruit into an international product.
Because for Two Brother, quality isn’t just produced — it’s grown.
