Cerignola: Also known as Bella di Cerignola,[1] is an olive cultivar from Italy.
Cerignola olives are large in relation to other olive varieties, mild in flavor, and may be served either green, cured black, or cured and dyed red.[2][3] The variety, which originates from the south-eastern Italian province of Apulia and is named for the town of Cerignola, is popular as table olives.[4]
Synonyms

Producers
[edit]In the production process 40 different olive farms are responsible for seeding, growing and delivering the final product to the executive offices. These then move down the production line, first to one of the 4 businesses involved in the preparation of the ready to eat olivies and another 4 distinct businesses involved in the packaging.
