Bertolli Creamy Alfredo Sauce

Bertolli traces its storied history back to 1865 in Lucca, Tuscany, where Francesco Bertolli and his wife Caterina began selling locally produced olive oil. From these humble Italian beginnings, the brand expanded globally, becoming a household name associated with authentic Mediterranean nutrition and high-quality pasta sauces. Over the decades, the brand's recipes have evolved to include a wide variety of sauces, including the Creamy Alfredo featured in the image, which emphasizes the use of real cream and cheese.

The brand has undergone several ownership changes over the years. Originally an independent Italian company, it was acquired by Unilever in 1993. Unilever eventually divested the brand in pieces. Today, the ownership of Bertolli is split depending on the product type. While the olive oil business belongs to Deoleo, the pasta sauce business was sold to Mizkan Holdings, a major Japanese food producer, in 2014. Manufacturing for Bertolli pasta sauces typically occurs in multiple countries, including the United States, Canada, and Italy, depending on the specific regional market and supply chain requirements for fresh ingredients like dairy.
