Fratepietro Black Cerignola Olives

Fratepietro Black Cerignola Olives are premium Bella di Cerignola olives — one of Italy’s most iconic olive varieties, traditionally grown in the Apulia region in south-eastern Italy. Cerignola olives are known for being among the largest table olives in the world, with a mild, approachable flavour and a firm, succulent flesh.

Large, meaty olives: Cerignola olives stand out for their generous size and satisfying bite — flesh separates easily from the pit.

Mild, slightly sweet taste: Compared with many other black olives, they have a gentle, slightly sweet and umami-rich flavour, with lower bitterness and saltiness.

Brine-cured: These olives are preserved in a traditional brine (saltwater) following an old family recipe, which enhances flavour and gives them a pleasant, slightly briny finish.

Traditional packaging: Usually presented in a clear glass jar that reflects classic Italian artisanal food presentation.
