We believe that some of the finest quality olives in the world are grown in the rich soil of southern Spain. That's why Papa John's buys olives exclusively from the largest quality-focused, grower-owned producer of olives in the world. It's from these famous groves that farmers harvest Papa John's ripe black olives. In fact, our olive supplier has reserved its famous "Herrera" grove exclusively for the harvest of Grande ripe black olives for Papa John's.
