About Bertolli
Bertolli is an olive oil brand founded in Lucca, Tuscany in 1865 that Deoleo calls the best-selling olive oil brand in the world. Deoleo does not own the name: it holds a perpetual, worldwide and exclusive licence from Mizkan, which could end it if certain international rivals of Mizkan took control. The brand made about 41 per cent of Deoleo's 2025 revenue.
