Description

Bring authentic Italian culinary tradition to your everyday stovetop cooking with Filippo Berio Classico Olive Oil (500ml e – Price-Marked Pack £5.99). Masterfully blended according to standards established in Lucca, Italy, in 1867, Classico is formulated for home chefs who want the heart-healthy benefits of olive oil paired with high thermal stability and a mellow flavor profile. Composed of high-grade refined olive oil harmonized with virgin olive oil, this blend delivers subtle olive notes while resisting breakdown and smoke at cooking temperatures up to 210°C.

Unlike bold extra virgin olive oils that can overpower sauces or scorch during high-heat skillet work, Filippo Berio Classico acts as a gentle flavor enhancer. Equipped with an innovative dripless pouring lip built directly into the neck, the bottle ensures mess-free, precise measurements with zero oily drips running down the glass. From simmering rich ragùs and marinara sauces to coating vegetables for high-heat roasting, Classico is an essential Mediterranean pantry workhorse.
