De Santis Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva Classico

De Santis is a prominent Italian olive oil brand with deep roots in the agricultural traditions of the Puglia region, specifically Bitonto, which is often referred to as the 'City of Olives.' The brand was established in the 1950s by Giovanni De Santis, who combined traditional harvesting techniques with modern industrial processes to bring high-quality extra virgin olive oil to a broader market.

While the company is headquartered and processes its oil in Italy, the specific product 'Classico' often utilizes a blend of olives sourced from across the European Union, as indicated by the label 'Origine Unione Europea.' The company remains an independent, family-run business, Oleificio Desantis S.p.A., maintaining its status as a key player in the Italian food industry without being absorbed by larger multinational conglomerates.
