The giant green olives are the biggest and the most attractive Italian olives. Green and pulpy olive, medium size, with nut, grown in Puglia in the area of Cerignola. The cultivar has many synonyms: Barilotto (small barrel), Cerignolese, Grossa di Spagna (Big Spanish), Lunga (long), Oliva a ciuccio, Oliva a prugna (Prune olive), Oliva di Spagna (Spanish olive), Oliva manna (Manna olive), Oliva dell'asino (Ass's olive), Prone, Prugne (prune) and Spagnola(Spanish). Since pitting is still rather difficult to obtain on this kind of fruit only whole olives are available on the food market.

Bella di Cerignola olive is distinguished by its oval shape that is larger than other varieties and for the ease of separation of the kernel for the rest. The taste is sweet, fresh and herbal. The aftertaste is round, long and woody.
