Fontana is a prominent Swedish-Greek family business that has become a staple in Scandinavian kitchens since its establishment in 1978. Founded by Frixos Papadopoulos, the brand was born out of a desire to introduce authentic Mediterranean flavors, particularly Greek products, to the Swedish market. The Clásico Extra Virgin Olive Oil shown is a versatile all-rounder, frequently sourced from high-quality groves in Spain to ensure a consistent flavor profile suitable for various culinary applications.

Today, Fontana remains a family-owned enterprise, headquartered in Tyresö, Sweden. The company has expanded its portfolio significantly beyond olive oil to include cheeses like Halloumi and Feta, olives, and other gourmet Mediterranean specialties. While the brand identifies strongly with its Greek heritage and Swedish origins, its manufacturing relies on strategic partnerships with producers across the Mediterranean basin, particularly in Spain and Greece, to meet demand and maintain quality standards.
