Bertolli
At Bertolli we believe that making olive oil should be simple, clean and pure. That’s the way we’ve been doing it for 150 years. Our organic olive oil is made from European olives that are grown, harvested and processed without the use of any chemicals or pesticides. The oil is extracted by crushing the olives without the use of any heat. Just crushed olives, nothing else. Like orange juice comes from oranges and peanut butter comes from peanuts, our olive oil is just olives. With our strict standards (tougher than legal requirements) we never use pesky contaminants or adulterated oil so you can be certain there is just one single ingredient in a bottle of Bertolli olive oil. We all know extra virgin olive oil is good for us, so if you can have extra virgin olive oil where the olives were grown without pesticides or chemicals, why wouldn’t you? Bertolli is proud to continue to sponsor AOAM again in 2020.
