Filippo Berio Classico Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Filippo Berio is a world-renowned brand representing the heritage of Italian olive oil production. Founded in 1867 by Filippo Berio in Lucca, Tuscany, the brand initially began as a small-scale operation where Berio himself sold his premium oils. Over the decades, it grew into an international household name, synonymous with traditional Italian craftsmanship and quality.

Today, the brand is owned by the Bright Food Group, a large-scale Chinese state-owned enterprise based in Shanghai. Despite this change in ultimate ownership, the brand's operational heart remains in Lucca, Italy, through the SALOV Group. While the primary sourcing and tradition come from Italy, the brand uses mechanical harvesting and processing techniques that may involve olives sourced from multiple Mediterranean countries to ensure consistent supply and competitive pricing.

The Classico Extra Virgin Olive Oil continues to reflect the original vision of its founder, maintaining a balanced flavor profile suitable for a wide range of culinary uses, from drizzling over salads to sautéing. Its global distribution is managed through various subsidiaries, ensuring as wide a reach as possible for one of the most recognized olive oil labels in the world.
