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

This is the third company I’ve ordered Cerignola olives from and by far the best. Olives are firm and delicious.

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.

Good olives without the super salty brine, so you can really taste the olive. A bit pricey, but good olives, will try the castelvetrano ones next.

We bought these olives in Prague at a speciality charcuterie store. Usually don't go to these stores as a little e pensive although the quality is worth it. Wanted some olives to go with it. These were the only ones in the store. Looked like ones that i have bought at home in the US. Even better. So i wanted to have some just like these in the US. I ordered them and they arrived 2 days before our return flight. Absolutely delicious! A fav of mine. The ones bought in Prague, originating in Italy were harder. At first i liked the hard ones more but i got used to these from Amazon being less firm/hard. I will definitely buy again.

I purchased these because of the price difference from the GREAT Sanniti Whole Bella Di Cerignola Olives. The flavor and texture of these are Terrible. Some of the olives are firm and chewy as they should be, but most are mushy (not good). More importantly the flavor of these are closer to the average green olives you purchase from the corner store with an overwhelming briny taste not the deep and delicious taste of a well preserved Bella di Cerignola Olive. If you want a GREAT olive get the Sanniti's and AVOID these.

Great for a snack too.

Very good and a quick delivery

I should have looked at the ratings more closely. These olives are reasonably priced if the quality was there. But they proved to be very mushy and small. Lessons learned I guess. I ended up throwing them in the trash after tasting a handful.
