Bertolli

The pleasure principle

Everything we do at Bertolli is rooted in the pleasures and principles of Italian cuisine. Like the Italians, we take fine ingredients, combine them with specially selected olive oil, and produce foods that are deceptively simple and totally delicious. So add some Bertolli magic, with pasta and bruschetta dishes that form an important part of Italian cooking.

Italian heritage

In 1865, in the town of Lucca, in the Tuscan heart of Italy's olive growing region, Francesco Bertolli opened a small storefront business selling regional foods such as olive oil, wine, cheese and olives.

From its beginnings in olive oil, Bertolli today has grown to include a broad range of restaurant-quality pasta sauce and meals – something appreciated by cash-strapped consumers looking for more affordable alternatives to eating out. While the Bertolli portfolio of products is constantly evolving to meet changing consumer needs, it continues to stay true to its Italian origins of culinary craftsmanship and trademark values of guaranteed quality, consistency and authenticity.

Today, more than 140 years since Francesco Bertolli began selling his olive oil, the original "Villa Bertolli" at Piazza S. Donato still stands, just as Bertolli remains at the heart of the authentic Italian cuisine enjoyed at home by millions of families around the world.

Pass the Bertolli, per favore

Based on traditional recipes that celebrate ripe, sun-touched flavours, Bertolli products are an easy way to bring a taste of Italian life into your home. Just add friends, family, a warm starry night and dinner is ready to serve.

As the saying goes, 'Più ce n'è, meglio è' – the more the merrier! So who knows what Bertolli will bring next?
