Olive, pickle and skewer packaging formats for every professional requirement

What olive or pickle format does a food retail chain, hotel, restaurant or food manufacturer need? The answer depends on the sales channel, consumption volume, expected product turnover and how the product will reach the consumer. For this reason, Olives GARCÍA offers a range of packaging options, from glass jars for display and retail sale to 250-litre drums for large-scale supply requirements.

The range includes glass, plastic and tin packaging, as well as high-capacity containers. This breadth of choice means that businesses can source table olives, pickles, gildas, skewers and banderillas from a single supplier.

It is not simply a question of offering different sizes: each packaging format provides a specific solution for storing, handling, serving, distributing or marketing the product.

What formats does Olives GARCÍA offer?

Olives GARCÍA divides its range into three main packaging families: glass formats, plastic formats and tin formats. These are complemented by the 250-litre drum, designed for handling large volumes of olives and pickles.

This variety of packaging is supported by a production structure designed to accommodate different working methods. The Olives GARCÍA facilities include a manual packing area for plastic formats, automated lines for glass, tinplate and PET packaging, and dedicated production and storage areas, including space for products stored in drums.

Glass formats

Glass jars are particularly suitable when the product needs to stand out visually on a retail shelf, gourmet display, counter unit or self-service area.

Their transparency allows customers to appreciate the olives’ size, colour, seasoning and overall presentation, while the rigidity of the container supports a carefully presented finished product.

García Gourmet

The García Gourmet format brings together five olive specialities with a distinctly gastronomic identity: Bombas, Chupadedos, Del Abuelo, Golden and Mojo Picón.

• Bombas: pitted Gordal olives with chilli pepper and red pepper, prepared in a spicy brine.

• Chupadedos: scored green olives with red pepper, garlic, oregano and olive oil.

• Del Abuelo: split, processed olives with red pepper, garlic, oregano, cumin and olive oil.

• Golden: pitted Gordal olives with extra virgin olive oil, white garlic and lemon.

• Mojo Picón: split, processed olives prepared in a spicy brine.

This selection provides an attractive solution for gourmet shops, specialist distributors, hotels, restaurants and higher-value aperitif offerings.

450 ml glass jar

The 450 ml glass jar has a stated capacity of 190 g of product and is designed for a selected range of pickles. The available products are Ajos Mojo, Cebollita Reina, Pepinillos Finos, Picadillo, Taperas Finas, Taperotes Finos and Variantes.

This format is suitable for businesses that need a manageable pack size, good product visibility and fast stock turnover. It can be used in retail outlets, specialist shops, gourmet sections and service environments where the container is presented directly to the customer.

850 ml glass jar

The 850 ml glass jar has a capacity of 1 kg and considerably expands the variety of products available.

It can contain Aliñada, Aragón, Arbequina, Bombas, Chupadedos, Cóctel, Cuquillo, Del Abuelo, Gazpachera, Gazpatxa, Golden, Gordal Lisa, Manzanilla, Manzanilla sin hueso, Mojo Picón, Morada Picolimón, Sosa Basta, Taperotes Gordos and Variantes.

Its balance between capacity and presentation makes it a versatile option for food distributors, restaurants, aperitif bars and retailers seeking to offer an extensive range without moving to larger-volume containers.

Plastic formats

Plastic formats for olives and pickles range from compact containers to 10 kg buckets. This variety enables businesses to align purchasing more closely with their rate of consumption while facilitating day-to-day handling in kitchens, bars, storerooms and preparation areas.

T-1 PET

The T-1 PET is a plastic jar with a capacity of 450 g. It is available for Cebollas and Partida Pico Limón, two products intended for operators looking for a lightweight and practical container in a compact size.

T-4 La Sénia

The T-4 La Sénia contains 4 kg drained net weight and is marketed under the La Sénia brand. It is available for Cóctel, Gazpachera, Manzanilla, Mojo Picón and Sosa Manzanilla.

Its capacity makes it a professional option for establishments with medium or high product turnover. It brings together traditional products, mixed selections and preparations with different flavour profiles in the same packaging format.

T-2.5 PET

The T-2.5 PET has a capacity of 2.5 kg of product. Its range includes Ajos Mojo, Ajos Sabor Anchoa, Aliñada, Altramuces, Aragón, Aragón Seca, Arbequina, Cebollas, Chupadedos, Cóctel, Cuquillo, Del Abuelo, Gazpachera, Gordal Lisa, Guindillas, Manzanilla, Manzanilla sin hueso, Mojo Picón, Morada Picolimón, Partida Pico Limón, Pepinillos Finos, Picadillo, Pimientos, Piparras, Sosa Basta, Taperas Finas, Taperotes Finos, Taperotes Gordos, Tomates and Variantes.

T-4.5 PET

The T-4.5 PET has a capacity of 4.5 kg. It can be used for Cóctel, Cuquillo, Gazpachera, Manzanilla, Morada Picolimón, Partida Pico Limón, Pimientos and Sosa Basta.

Its size meets the needs of professional kitchens, bars, catering services and other businesses that use particular products frequently. It also enables more product to be stored in a single container, reducing the need for replenishment during service.

CU-5 and CU-10 buckets

The CU-5 and CU-10 formats are PVC buckets with capacities of 5 kg and 10 kg respectively. Both are also available by the pallet, making them particularly relevant to distributors, central purchasing departments, contract catering businesses and operators planning higher-volume purchases.

The two buckets share an especially extensive range: Aragón, Aragón Seca, Arbequina, Asado, Cebollas, Cebollita Reina, Cóctel, Cuquillo, Cuquillo sin hueso, Finas Hierbas, Gazpachera, Gazpatxa, Gordal Lisa, Guindillas, Kimbitos, Manzanilla, Manzanilla sin hueso, Morada Picolimón, Partida Aloreña, Partida Moron, Partida Ocal, Partida Pico Limón, Pelotin, Pepinillos Finos, Pepinos, Picadillo, Pimientos, Rellena de pimiento, Rodajas Verdes, Sosa Basta, Sosa Manzanilla, Taperas Finas, Taperotes Finos, Taperotes Gordos, Tomates, Variada and Variantes.

Offering the same products in both formats enables buyers to maintain a consistent selection across two capacity levels. Each customer can therefore choose between 5 kg and 10 kg according to product turnover, available storage space and replenishment frequency.

CU-2 for skewers

The CU-2 is a PVC bucket with a capacity of 2 kg, designed for skewers, gildas and other ready-to-serve combinations.

The available varieties are Boquerón con Rellenas, Delicias de Queso, Piparra con Anchoa, Pulpo Lino, Riojana de Queso and Triple Boquerón.

Olives GARCÍA presents its skewers as artisan preparations, with options ranging from traditional combinations to more original creations. For restaurants, hotels and other hospitality businesses, this format reduces preparation work and helps operators maintain a consistent offering across bars, buffets, aperitif services and events.

250-litre drums

The 250-litre drum is the highest-capacity solution in the Olives GARCÍA range. The company states that all its available olives and pickles can be supplied in this format.

The published list includes Aliñada, Altramuces, Aragón, Aragón Seca, Arbequina, Asado, Banderillas, Berenjenas, Cebollas, Cebollita Reina, Chupadedos, Cóctel, Cuquillo, Del Abuelo, Finas Hierbas, Gazpachera, Gazpatxa, Gordal Guindilla, Gordal Pepino, Guindillas, Kalamata, Kimbitos, Manzanilla, Manzanilla sin hueso, Mojo Picón, Morada Picolimón, Negra, Partida Aloreña, Partida Moron, Partida Ocal, Partida Pico Limón, Pelotin, Pepinillos Finos, Picadillo, Pimientos, Reducidas en sal, Rellena de pimiento, Rodajas Negras, Rodajas Verdes, Sosa Basta, Sosa Manzanilla, Taperas Finas, Taperotes Finos, Taperotes Gordos, Tomates, Variada and Variantes.

This format is intended for large-scale supply requirements, processing, repacking or intensive use. The Olives GARCÍA production facility has its own storage area for products packed in drums.

Tin formats

Tinned olives for hospitality and food distribution combine product protection, stackability and professional capacities. Olives GARCÍA offers stuffed olive tins as well as 2.5 kg and 5 kg formats.

Stuffed olive tins

The stuffed olive tins section is associated with a 150 g presentation and the company’s range of stuffed olives. The Olives GARCÍA olive catalogue includes Rellena de pimiento and Rellena de anchoa.

This format is suitable for marketing a familiar product in compact, easy-to-store packaging. It can be incorporated into supermarket shelves, aperitif ranges and specialist retail selections.

2.5 kg tin

The 2.5 kg tin is available for Berenjenas, Bombas, Chupadedos, Del Abuelo, Golden, Gordal Lisa, Gordal sin hueso, Kalamata, Manzanilla, Negra, Pepinillos Finos, Rodajas Negras and Rodajas Verdes.

The format combines traditional products with gourmet specialities and products prepared for particular uses, such as sliced olives. This makes it possible to meet requirements for aperitifs, cooking, plate presentation or use as an ingredient.

5 kg tin

The 5 kg tin is available for Aliñada, Asado, Bombas, Chupadedos, Del Abuelo, Finas Hierbas, Gazpatxa, Golden, Gordal Lisa, Gordal sin hueso, Manzanilla, Manzanilla sin hueso, Mojo Picón, Negra, Negra sin hueso, Pepinillos Finos, Reducidas en sal and Rodajas Verdes.

Its capacity makes it a suitable solution for operations with higher consumption levels and consistent product turnover. In addition, several speciality products — including Bombas, Golden, Del Abuelo and Mojo Picón — are available in more than one format, making it easier to adapt the same product to different sales channels or volume requirements.

How should you choose the right format?

The decision should begin with how the product will actually be used. A gourmet shop displaying the contents does not require the same packaging as a high-turnover bar, a central production kitchen or a company purchasing large volumes for processing or repacking.

• For display and direct sale: glass jars provide product visibility and a carefully presented appearance.

• For frequent handling: PET jars and buckets offer a choice of capacities and practical handling.

• For ready-to-serve skewers: the CU-2 brings together the six combinations available within this category.

• For high-volume professional consumption: the CU-5, CU-10 and 2.5 kg or 5 kg tins allow purchasing volumes to be aligned with product turnover.

• For large-scale supply requirements: the 250-litre drum provides the highest capacity and access to the available olive and pickle range.

• For compact retail formats: stuffed olive tins and smaller jars help businesses create ranges aimed at the end consumer.

Before selecting a product, five factors should be considered: weekly consumption, available storage space, opening frequency, serving method and sales channel.

It is also advisable to confirm current availability, secondary packaging, pallet configuration and the applicable terms for each product with the Olives GARCÍA sales team.

A solution for every channel

For a food retail chain, the broad selection of packaging options makes it possible to combine products intended for display with formats designed for professional operations. The option to work with glass, PET, tinplate and large containers helps businesses create a range suited to different retail environments and customer profiles.

In hospitality and foodservice, containers holding between 2 kg and 10 kg enable purchasing to be adjusted to the pace of service. The CU-2 skewer format also directly addresses the need to offer prepared aperitifs while simplifying day-to-day operations.

For hotels, caterers and contract catering operators, the combination of buckets, tins and high-capacity formats provides options for buffets, kitchens, events and aperitif services. For the food industry, 250-litre drums provide a supply solution for handling larger volumes.

Olives GARCÍA therefore offers a catalogue capable of meeting a wide range of professional requirements with table olives, pickles, gildas, skewers and banderillas. Choosing the right solution may begin with the packaging format, but the final decision also depends on the variety, preparation method, required volume and intended use.
