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 quality and reliability which is traceable and certified from the field to the bottle with more stringent parameters than required by regulations, which selects only the best and healthiest olives, harvested at the right degree of ripeness and rigorously cold-pressed, 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 product’s quality requirements, but also environmental sustainability throughout the supply chain.
In fact, Filippo Berio oils have a complete and exhaustive traceability system, which provides more than just information on the origin of the raw material. By entering the batch number on the website www.filippoberio.it you can find out lots of information, such as: date of production, predominant cultivars used, the origin of the olives and the site of pressing, in addition to the organoleptic and sensory profile, including the analyses carried out for each bottle showing the individual quality parameters found and compared with the limits imposed by law.
