Giant green Cerignola olives 1.6kg drained weight 1kg

Cerignola olives, also known as "Bella di Cerignola" , are a large, meaty Italian olive variety renowned for their mild, buttery taste and firm, crisp texture. They are a protected designation of origin (PDO) product, exclusively grown in the Puglia region of Italy. Experience the authentic taste of Sicily in every bite. Cerignola olives have a delicate flavor that is not overwhelmingly "olivey", making them a popular choice for those who prefer milder olives.

- Flavor: They possess a mild, sweet, and distinctly buttery taste with low bitterness and subtle fruity notes. The curing process, often the "Seville system" for green olives, eliminates most of the natural bitterness and develops their pleasant aroma.
- Color Variations: While naturally green when unripe and black when fully ripe, they are commonly found in green, black, and sometimes red (dyed) varieties in the market, with the green and black types having slightly different flavor profiles (green are typically milder and sweeter).
- Mouthfeel: A primary characteristic is their thick, fleshy, and firm pulp, which provides a satisfying, crisp bite. A Touch of Italy your partner for perfect for appetizers, salads, and charcuterie boards.
