Our Heritage

The success of Filippo Berio Olive Oil stems from the
dedication of just one man, who set out in 1835 to
shape his future and follow his dream.

HIS STORY AND SUCCESS ARE NOW
PART OF OLIVE OIL HISTORY:

1829

The Story Begins

Filippo Berio was born on December 8th 1829,
in the Ligurian town of Oneglia not far from Genoa.

Filippo Berio Heritage

1835

A PASSION FOR OLIVE OIL

A young Filippo Berio moves with his family to Lucca, a province of Tuscany famous for its olive oils. It is here among the rolling hills, that he is inspired to pursue his passion and become an olive oil craftsman.

1850

A NATIONAL SUCCESS

Over the years Filippo worked hard to perfect his craft: he chose the finest olives and pressed them with care and attention into pure and delicious oil. Season after season, his reputation grew until his olive oils received national success: sold and distributed throughout Italy.

1860

OLIVE OIL CONNOISSEUR

Filippo’s famous olive oils and high quality standards soon earned him important recognition as one of Italy’s premier olive oil connoisseurs and producers.

1894

THE END OF AN ERA

Filippo Berio passes away at the age of 64, leaving his legacy to his daughter Albertina and his business partner Giovanni Silvestrini.

1896

THE NAME LIVES ON

Two years after his death, the Filippo Berio trademark is registered in the United States. In the early 1900’s, Filippo Berio Olive Oils becomes Italy’s number one export brand thanks to continuous sales, awards and recognition for its exceptional quality and flavour.

1919

SALOV

Albertina Berio and Giovanni Silvestrini join forces with other prominent olive oil and wine producers to form a cooperative association named SALOV.

WORLD WAR II

SALOV interrupts all olive oil production activities. Later in the 1950’s, production resumes with the introduction of more modern olive growing techniques.

1960 / 1970

CONTINUED GROWTH

After the war the Filippo Berio brand name continues to grow and garner success across the globe, thanks in part to numerous studies proving the health benefits of olive oil.

1987

SALOV NORTH AMERICA

To meet growing demands and market needs in North America, SALOV opens a new subsidiary in New Jersey, USA.
