Cerignola olives are a type of large, meaty olive that is primarily grown in the Apulia region of southern Italy. They are named after the town of Cerignola, which is located in the province of Foggia in Apulia.
These olives are typically harvested when they are fully ripened and have a deep purple-black color. They have a round, plump shape and a firm, chewy texture. Cerignola olives are known for their mild and slightly sweet flavor, with a hint of bitterness.
Cerignola olives are mostly used in a variety of dishes, including pasta dishes, salads and pizzas, as well as appetizers or snacks. Due to their large size and meaty texture, Cerignola olives are often referred to as “the queen of olives.” They are highly valued by olive connoisseurs for their unique flavor and texture and are considered a delicacy in many parts of the world.
