ABOUT
OLIVE OIL
Whether it was the Roman god Hercules who struck the ground and caused an olive tree to sprout or the Greek goddess Athena who first created the olive tree matters not; it is still considered the fruit of the gods and it has been cultivated and enjoyed by humans for an estimated 6000 years.
Through the ages people believed it to be the fountain of great wealth and power; Homer called it liquid gold, it was used to anoint the heads of historys noblest, in ancient Greece, athletes rubbed it all over their bodies, it has graced tables across the world for thousands of years and its medicinal and culinary properties are still revered today.

ABOUT FILIPPO BERIO
Filippo Berio, a man passionate about his family, his business and olive oil, began producing and selling the finest olive oil in the 1850s. Highly regarded as an expert, he personally tested and selected the precise blend of oils sold under his name.

He later formed a partnership with Giovanni Silvestrini, with whom he built the FILIPPO BERIO brand and product to exacting high standards.

In 1919, Filippo Berios granddaughter Albertina Berio and Giovanni Silvestrini entered into a partnership with other growers and producers in Lucca including Dino Fontana, grandfather and great-grandfather of the current FILIPPO BERIO Olive Oil producers. Together they formed a new company: SALOV, or the Societa per Azoni Lucchese Olii e Vini (Society for Oils and Wines of the Province of Lucca).
Today SALOV is still 100% Italian owned and managed and its success is attributed to product quality and expertise. Its headquarters are in Lucca, a town internationally acclaimed for its excellence in olive oil production.
This fine aromatic oil is made from the first cold-pressing of the finest olives, and is distinguished by its full flavour, low acidity, and deep greenish-gold color.

FILIPPO BERIO Extra Virgin Olive Oil enhances the flavour of salad dressings, sauces, and marinades; is a wonderful finish to vegetables, rice dishes and soups and is perfect for dipping bread and seafood.
FILIPPO BERIO Olive Oil has a perfectly balanced, mild taste and beautiful golden color.
