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]
