Bertolli Spread with Mediterranean Olive Oil

Bertolli is a brand with a rich heritage dating back to 1865 in Lucca, Italy, where Francesco Bertolli and his wife Caterina opened a small shop selling local produce and olive oil. Over more than a century, it transitioned from a local Italian family business to a globally recognized name.

Today, the ownership of the Bertolli brand is split between different companies depending on the product type. While Deoleo manages the olive oil business, the Bertolli spreads, margarines, and culinary fats division (shown in the image) is owned by Upfield. Upfield was established after KKR acquired the spreads business from Unilever. The manufacturing of these spreads takes place in various professional facilities across Europe to serve different regional markets, ensuring their palm-oil-free recipes remain accessible to consumers seeking Mediterranean-style dietary options.
