DESPAR Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva

DESPAR Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva is a private label olive oil product sold by the SPAR retail group. While the label 'DESPAR' is specifically associated with the Italian and Central European branches of SPAR, the oil itself is typically a blend of extra virgin olive oils sourced from various locations within the European Union, most frequently Italy, Greece, and Spain. Manufacturing and bottling are generally handled by contracted regional producers specialized in olive oil distribution. SPAR operates as a voluntary cooperative of independent wholesalers and retailers, meaning the ultimate ownership of the brand name resides with SPAR International in the Netherlands, though the Italian operations (DESPAR) are managed by local consortiums like Despar Italia.
