FRATELLI MANTOVA SINCE 1905 Mantova Italian Bella di Cerignola Olives (Pack of 1 2 lb) Great Taste, 52.91 Ounce

Best olives EVER for making your own marinated olives. They're big, meaty, and delicately flavored. This is a BIG BAG so be prepared either to split it or keep them in a large container. I dump them in a big jar with some herbs, garlic, chili flakes, maybe an orange rind or something, cover them with olive oil and let them marinate for a few days before sharing. The resulting olive oil is also great to use for other purposes!

While the olives were a little smaller than I expected, they were fresh and very tasty. They also had a slight crunch, no doubt due to the vinegar in the brine. I've been munching on them constantly since they arrived! This is an easy five star product for me. Please note that these olives are also available at the company's mantovafood.com site, and you won't be disappointed if you check out the pricing.

Nice olives. But my wife was aghast 😵. She would rather buy olives a few at a time from the local grocery. These were enough to fill a large Mason jar in the frig.

Unbelievable! The mother of all olives! Whenever Cerignola olives show up at my local Market Basket, which isn’t often, I pounce on them. They’ve not had them for a couple months, so I checked to see if Amazon carried them by chance, and lo and behold, I found these. They are meaty and firm, and absolutely delicious. Castelvetrano olives can’t hold a candle to these olives from Puglia, Italy. You’ll never buy another olive again, they are that good! And the price is remarkable compared to what I expect to pay for an 8 ounce container at Market Basket. What a treat!

These are great olives and I was hoping they would taste like the ripe Black Cerignola Olives I love so much. However, I am enjoying these so much and they remind me of Picholine Olives. They are briny, and piquant, without bitterness or being too tart. That's the best I can do to describe them. I would buy these again and serve with any appetizers. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THEM HERE TO THE USA! Arrived safely, well-packed.

Amaziiiiing olives !!! I love olives as a little snack during the day, this ones are perfect

Cerignolas are characterized by being very large, and very crisp, buttery. These are none of those things. They are mushy, not crisp at all. It is totally possible to buy Cerignola olives, bagged, of good quality. I've enjoyed them, which is why I tried these. These olives miss the mark. I gave them an extra star because the olives aren't spoiled, just processed in a way that makes them uncharacteristic and disappointing. The mushy texture is unappealing. The usual, delicious, buttery taste of the Cerignola is absent. These taste like the brine they were shipped in, nothing more.

Smaller olives than those received in the past. May look for different supplier. Disappointed. Same good flavor as in the past but size was very disappointing.
