Description

Bring timeless Italian tradition and Mediterranean authenticity to your dining table with Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil (250ml e – For Dressings, Dipping and Flavouring). Rooted in Lucca, Italy, since 1867, Filippo Berio represents over 150 years of master blending expertise. This premium extra virgin oil is extracted solely by mechanical means from the very first cold pressing of olives harvested across premier Mediterranean groves (including Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, and Tunisia). Cold extraction guarantees that the olive’s natural polyphenols, bright antioxidants, and delicate aromatics remain intact.

Equipped with a custom dripless pouring spout, this handy 250ml dark green glass bottle ensures clean, controlled portioning without messy spills down the side. Designed specifically as a finishing oil and condiment, it provides a balanced, fruity, and mildly pungent flavor that enhances ingredients without overpowering them. Whether whisked into an emulsion for leafy salads, poured into a dish with cracked black pepper for artisan crusty bread, or drizzled over hot soups and grilled meats, Filippo Berio EVOO adds an elegant, gourmet lift to everyday meals.
