Bertolli Tomato & Basil Pasta Sauce

Bertolli is a world-renowned brand with deep roots in Lucca, Tuscany, where it was founded by Francesco Bertolli and his wife Caterina in 1865. Originally a small grocery store selling olive oil, it grew into a global symbol of Italian cuisine.

Today, the ownership of the Bertolli brand is split across different product categories. While the olive oil business is owned by the Spanish company Deoleo, the pasta sauce business (depicted in the image) is owned by Mizkan Holdings. Mizkan is a Japanese multinational company known for its vinegars and sauces.

Manufacturing for Bertolli pasta sauces occurs in multiple countries to serve regional markets. For the North American market, including Canada and the United States, production is primarily handled at facilities in the United States to ensure freshness and efficient distribution. The brand continues to emphasize its Italian heritage and the use of quality ingredients like olive oil.
