Cerignola is a beautiful city near Foggia, its name is believed to be derived from Cerere - the Roman goddess Ceres - goddess of the harvest and agriculture, presiding over grains and the fertility of the earth.
Puglia, in the south of Italy, is a region blessed with an exceptional climate making it a perfect ecosystem to grow all kinds of vegetables. So it is not a coincidence if Domenico founded La Cerignola di una Volta here.
Puglia in a jar
La Cerignola di una Volta specializes in preserving local products of this fertile land such as artichokes, olives, peppers, eggplants and more, using only the best raw materials. The typical Apulian products created with passion by Domenico follow traditional recipes and modern sanitary standards to carefully conserve and protect the taste of the Italian summer in a jar!
Bringing the taste of Italy to your door
Our mission when we founded BellaItalia was exactly this: to bring the best Italian food to your door anywhere in the world, and with La Cerignola di una Volta it was an instant match! Their products are as authentic as can be and their rigorous production process always ensures higher quality standards. Using vinegar and sunflower seeds oil these delicious vegetables are stored exclusively in beautiful glass jars (that you can recycle or use again in your pantry).
When we open a jar of their Broccoli Rabe or Artichokes with Stems, when we fix a quick aperitif whit some Taralli and their Seasoned Asparagus or the delicious Round Baby Peppers stuffed with Tuna we are transported to Puglia and its beautiful countryside.
And this is exactly the experience we wish to bring to you too!
Where to start
The easiest line we carry is the Patè line, toast some bread and add these delicious spreads to your Bruschetta for an original aperitif. The “Bomba Pugliese” is one of our exclusives: hot and spicy, if you appreciate Italian hot peppers you will love this spread also as an addition to spice up your pasta dishes.
Olives and artichokes are perfect to serve on a tray with some crispy taralli. To surprise your guests with a unique specialty try the Lampascioni! These are a species of the onions family, they're typical of the Mediterranean area, very popular in Puglia and Basilicata. The bitter taste makes the Lampascioni a very unique and special vegetable that will enrich your table for sure!
We also love to always have a jar of the Cerignola di una Volta sliced vegetables on hand: these make perfect sides for any meat dish and are a great way to add some delicious vegetables to the diet. Trust us and try adding some Seasoned Eggplant Stripes to you Hamburger, it will transform it into an incredible tasting experience!
