Gallo Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Gallo is one of the world's most recognized olive oil brands, with a history dating back to 1919 when Victor Guedes founded the company in Portugal. Over the decades, it has grown from a local Portuguese staple into a global leader in the olive oil industry, known for its iconic rooster logo which symbolizes vigilance and quality.

While the brand's heart remains in Portugal—where a significant portion of its olive cultivation and production occurs—the specific bottle shown is labeled as "Packed in Italy." This is a common practice in the olive oil industry where oils from various Mediterranean regions are blended and bottled in specialized facilities to meet global distribution needs.

Today, Gallo is owned by Sovena Group, a major Portuguese multinational agribusiness. Sovena is one of the world's largest companies in the olive oil sector, managing the entire value chain from olive groves to the final bottling process. This vertical integration ensures the brand maintains its reputation for quality while expanding its reach across international markets, including North America.
