Olive seed size, apart from the characteristics of the variety, depends on many other factors such as tree age, size of production, cultivating methods, weather conditions etc.
For this reason worldwide standards for olive seed size have been established according to the number of pieces (olive seeds) contained in 1kg of a product. The various olive sizes are mentioned here while below you can compare the real images (they have not been edited) of various olive sizes.
