COMPANY PROFILE
The Salov Group’s long journey goes back many years and is intrinsically linked to a name of historical importance in the world of Olive Oil: Filippo Berio.
Founded in 1867, the Filippo Berio brand established itself at the beginning of the 20th century as the most widely exported Italian brand, famous throughout the world for the excellent flavour of its oils.
In 1919, thanks to the efforts of Filippo Berio’s daughter, Albertina, and the commitment of a number of Tuscan industrialists, including Giovanni Silvestrini and Dino Fontana, SALOV – Società Anonima Lucchese Olii e Vini – was founded, with the primary objective of setting a recognised standard for quality Olive Oil throughout the world.
OUR BRANDS
The Salov Group has been active in the Italian market since 1959 spearheaded by its popular Sagra brand and, since 2019, with Filippo Berio, an international brand with a history of excellence that goes back over 150 years.
