The Pavoncelli family is synonymous with the town of Cerignola, where in the early 1900s the Pavoncelli estates covered an expanse of more than 30,000 acres. The 'Bella di Cerignola' cultivar is a giant green olive that is known for its meaty texture and its savory Umami taste. There is no better way to enjoy an Aperitivo al Fresco than cracking open a jar of Pavoncelli Olives: one bite and you will be hooked.
About the Bella di Cerignola
The cultivar takes its name from the town of Cerignola, near Foggia in the region of Puglia, the heel of Italy’s boot and a veritable olive paradise: acre after acre of olive groves dating back hundreds of years and stretching as far as the eye can see. Originally from Spain, these olives arrived in Puglia in 1500 - when Puglia was under the rule of the Spanish empire - and found their perfect habitat. Hot, dry, breezy summers and cool winters provide the perfect growing conditions, allowing the Bella di Cerignola Olive to grow to become the world’s largest olive.
