The Berio Method: the certified, sustainable and traceable path to quality
All Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oils are the result of skilful processing using the Berio Method: the path to sustainable quality, traced and certified from the field to the bottle. A rigorous process that begins with the selection of the best and healthiest olives, harvested at the right degree of ripeness and rigorously cold-pressed, only from environmentally sustainable cultivations based on the principles of integrated farming.
The method is monitored at every stage and certified by SGS, an independent and authoritative external body, which guarantees not only the qualitative characteristics of the product, which adhere to stricter parameters than those required by regulations, but also environmental sustainability throughout the supply chain.
In fact, Filippo Berio oils boast a complete and exhaustive traceability system, which doesn’t just offer information relating to the origin of the raw material. By entering the batch number on the website www.filippoberio.it you can find out lots of useful information, such as: date of production, predominant cultivars used, the origin of the olives and the pressing site, as well as the organoleptic and sensory profile, including the analyses carried out for each bottle showing the individual quality parameters detected and compared with the limits imposed by law.

Did you know that…
The original recipe uses stale bread. It is actually a recipe of peasant origins, a simple dish that was eaten in the fields after a full day’s work.

- 1kg octopus
- 600g potatoes

- Salt to taste

The SALOV Group was founded in 1919 by Filippo Berio’s daughter, Albertina, with a number of Tuscan industrialists who together have pursued Filippo Berio’s vision: to promote quality olive oil around the world. SALOV is based in Massarosa, in the province of Lucca, and is one of the largest companies in the oil sector with a consolidated net turnover in 2019 of approximately 275 million Euros and 91 million litres sold.
The SALOV Group, which has always been present on the Italian market with the famous Sagra brand, launched the Filippo Berio brand for the first time in Italy at the end of 2019, already a well-established brand worldwide and currently market leader in the USA, UK and Russia, as well as in Belgium, Holland and Switzerland.
Filippo Berio has a dedicated range for Italy, one capable of responding to an increasingly discerning consumer in terms of quality and, above all, traceability and sustainability. In fact, thanks to the Berio Method, each part of the production process is traceable and certified, starting from the field and the application of integrated production techniques.
