Cerignola olives RULE. Period.
If you haven't experienced these and are an olive-lover (I have given up trying to convert haters) then get some in your mouth ASAP. But watch out for the addiction of a lifetime. If you are not familiar, they are the big green ones

We ate at The Rockefeller Center Cafe this summer, and they brought green olives to the table. They were awesome. I can almost still taste them. Today, I finally called the restaraunt to inquire about their name; hence, me finding your post. WOW, you hit the nail on the head, especially about the addiction.
ReplyDeleteI discovered these olives this year in Abruzzo in Italy and I was amazed. When I first saw them I thought they got their colour from green food colouring and was a bit put off, coz I am a bit of a purist re food, but on discovering that they are naturally that colour, I gave them a try. I am an olive freak anyway!

I prefer the black Cerignolas, they taste of butter.
ReplyDeleteThese are the best olives I have ever eaten. I tried them today for the first time and hours later and finding myself craving them again. The first thing I'm doing tomorrow is heading to the store to purchase more. I absolutely love these, and can verifiably say that these are the most addictive olives I have ever consumed. I will not be able to do without them.
ReplyDeleteDo you know where these olives can be purchased in Toronto or even Ontario for that matter? I had them in Chicago and called the chef to the table so that I could find out what type of olives they were. I hope to find them here!
ReplyDeleteIfeel the same as all of you,they are addictive,the tast is incredible, if theres ever a time that I can't find them, I would have to go to Italy to find them,all of my four sons are addicted too, driving home from the store, my son stops the car to go to open the trunk, grab the olive and start to eat them, cant wait to get home,that must be the best olive in the world !!!!!!
