Bertolli Robusto Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Bertolli Robusto is a premium expression of the world-renowned Bertolli olive oil brand, specifically crafted for a bold and robust flavor profile. Its origin traces back to 1865 in Lucca, Tuscany, where Francesco Bertolli and his wife Caterina opened a small grocery shop, eventually becoming pioneers in exporting Italian olive oil to the global market.

While the brand was a cornerstone of the Unilever portfolio for many decades, it was sold to the Spanish food giant Deoleo in 2008. Today, while Bertolli remains a quintessential Italian brand in heritage and is bottled in Barberino Tavarnelle, Italy, its ultimate ownership resides with Deoleo S.A., based in Madrid, Spain. The manufacturing often sources high-quality olives from various Mediterranean regions, as indicated by the 'EU and non-EU' sourcing practices common in the industry, though this specific bottle is processed and bottled in Italy to maintain its certified standards.
