Filippo Berio celebrates its Italian Heritage in Ireland

Posted on: 14 Oct 2020

Filippo Berio, the Olive Oil specialists, are celebrating more than 150 years of skilled craftsmanship and heritage with their first television advertising in Ireland.

The iconic brand was first created in Lucca in Italy when a young enthusiast began producing an olive oil that would make his name synonymous with exceptional quality and consistent superior taste. His signature is still on every bottle.

The uniquely rich taste of Filippo Berio Olive Oils is due to the fact our tasters sample 6000 olive oils every year but only approve six per cent of them! Every beautiful batch of olive oil is still personally tasted before making its way to Ireland.

The Filippo Berio Way involves sourcing the best olive oils from across the Mediterranean, working with the same suppliers for decades to ensure consistent excellence. Our popularity is down to our skilled selection and blending. We proudly refer to our knowledge of how to blend fruity, sweet, bitter and peppery flavours into a harmonious oil as an art form - one that relies on age-old tradition, experience and skill. For this reason, our blenders are famous around the world for their invaluable expertise and talent. 

We boast uncompromising quality – strict quality standards are applied at every stage of our production process. For example, we bottle all our oil in our state-of-the-art production facility in Lucca before being shipped across to Ireland.

Along with the TV advertising Filippo Berio has also produced a range of recipes to warm the winter months – One Pot Suppers. Stunning suppers that are as healthy as they are hearty.    

Olive Oil is key to the Mediterranean diet which promotes heart health, strengthens immunity, and has been linked to increased longevity and staving off chronic illness and cognitive decline.
