Description

Bring certified organic purity and over 150 years of Italian olive oil expertise into your kitchen with Filippo Berio Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (1.5 Litres e). Blended to the exacting standards established in Lucca, Italy, in 1867, this superior-category extra virgin olive oil is pressed exclusively from organically grown olives cultivated without artificial chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Cold extracted solely through mechanical methods, it preserves its natural vitamin E, oleic acids, and vibrant botanical characteristics.

Committed to sustainability, Filippo Berio houses this 1.5-litre format in a lightweight, shatterproof bottle made with 50% recycled plastic (r-PET), significantly reducing environmental impact while keeping the oil protected. Delivering a rich, harmonious bouquet of fresh green herbs, ripe olives, and subtle nutty undertones, it is tailored specifically for cold applications and gourmet finishing. Whether drizzled raw over seasonal heirloom salads, whisked into vinaigrettes, poured alongside warm crusty bread, or used to finish grilled meats and pasta, it delivers rich Mediterranean taste in every pour.
