Bertolli Bio Natives Olivenöl Extra

Bertolli is one of the world's most recognizable olive oil brands, with a heritage dating back to 1865 in Lucca, Tuscany. Founded by Francesco Bertolli and his wife Caterina, it began as a small grocery store selling local wine, cheese, and olive oil. The brand eventually became a pioneer in exporting Italian olive oil to the United States.

While the brand maintains its Italian identity, the manufacturing and sourcing of its oils are global. This specific 'Bio' (Organic) Extra Virgin Olive Oil is typically a blend of oils sourced from various Mediterranean countries, including Italy, Spain, Greece, and Tunisia, to ensure a consistent flavor profile and meet organic certification standards.

Ownership of the brand has changed hands several times over the decades. Though it was once part of the Unilever portfolio, the olive oil division was acquired by the Spanish multinational Deoleo, S.A. Deoleo is currently the world's leading olive oil bottler, managing Bertolli alongside other major brands like Carapelli and Carbonell.
