Bertolli Olive Oil

Bertolli Olive Oil is a historic global brand with deep roots in Italy, dating back to 1865 when Francesco and Caterina Bertolli began selling oil in Lucca, Tuscany. The brand is famous for its pioneering move to bottle olive oil in glass, which allowed consumers to see the quality of the product for the first time. The distinctive green bottle with ribbed or 'striped' sides, seen in this image, is part of a modern redesign inspired by the architectural heritage of Lucca.

Today, the brand is owned by Deoleo, a Spanish multinational that is the world's leading producer and bottler of olive oil. While the brand identifies strongly with its Italian heritage, the actual product is often a blend of oils sourced from several Mediterranean and international regions, including Spain, Italy, Greece, and sometimes Tunisia or South America. This enables the company to maintain a consistent flavor profile throughout the year regardless of local harvest variations. In Germany and other European markets, the brand is managed through local subsidiaries such as Deoleo Deutschland GmbH.
