About Bertolli: Secrets of Tuscany

The BERTOLLI story began in 1865, in the small Tuscan town of Lucca, when Francesco and Caterina Bertolli started selling olive oil from a trading shop underneath their family home. They found the hot, dry conditions perfect for producing olive oil.

In the years since that first store, Bertolli has grown into an international brand. Bertolli products now include pasta sauces, spreads and more, in addition to a broad range of olive oils.

As much as Bertolli has grown, some things have stayed constant. Passion for perfection doesn’t change – olive oils remain not only Bertolli’s most famous product, but also the best-loved. Rich in history, tradition and flavour, olive oil is a vital part of the Mediterranean lifestyle. Bertolli brings a taste of Mediterranean culture to people everywhere, putting the same pride and passion into every product today as they have for the last one hundred and fifty years.
