🫒 Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil — Product Overview
🌿 What Is It?
A widely recognized Italian olive oil brand offering extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) blended from olives harvested across the Mediterranean (Italy, Greece, Spain, Tunisia) and destined to maintain a consistent flavor profile throughout the year
👉 Label & Quality Notes
While labeled EVOO, large-scale blends like Filippo Berio are not optimized for high polyphenol content—which means they may lack bitterness or intense flavor common in specialty oils
There have been past concerns and legal disputes over claims about oil quality and labeling, though Filippo Berio remains compliant with standard extra virgin classifications (≤0.8% acidity)
