Bertolli Olive Oil Spread

Just listen to the way the name Bertolli rolls off of the edge of your tongue and it doesn't take a genius to realise that we are thinking in terms of an Italian product here. Bertolli manufacture a vast range of top quality products including their famous olive oils, pasta sauces, tasty savoury nibbles and their very well known spreads. Bertolli is a company with a long history tucked behind it, in the late 1800s Francesco and Caterina Bertolli made their living from selling olive oil in a family run shop that was situated underneath their home. In subsequent years they had five sons who then ... more

Every quarter I receive coupons from Tesco for the points earned on my Clubcard. One of the ones they recently sent me was for Bertolli Olive Spread. The coupon was offering an extra 30 Clubcard points if I purchased either the 500g or 1kg sized tub, and although Bertolli isn't my usual choice of butter spread, I thought I'd give it a try. WHY IS BERTOLLI DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SPREADS? Bertolli is quite different from most other butter spreads because, unlike most, it is made using olives. From the olive comes olive oil which is an excellent source of monosaturates (healthy fats to me and you) ... more

I have to say that I love Bertolli Olive Oil spread... i have tried some alternatives but they never taste quite the same! The story began in 1865, in the small Tuscan town of Lucca, when Francesco and Caterina Bertolli started selling olive oil from a trading shop underneath their family home.

Many Italian emigrants in America would write to Francesco Bertolli because they couldn't find the kinds of food they were used to. Bertolli Olive Oil was launched in the UK in 2001 and is one of the leading Olive Oil brands in the ... more

I first tried this in the smaller tubs, but now i get the bigger tubs, for my self and all the family, we all love it and its supposed to be good for us. It comes in a normal marg tub, but looks good, and is easier to use,"the lid goes on easier". The only thing with this spread is that its quite expensive nearly double the others. As a family we really like it and will carry on using this spread, it is ... more

This product should be withdrawn immediately. I have used Bertolli (and its predecessor) for many years and was always satisfied. However I purchased this product expecting even better taste and texture. I was amazed it was so bad. As soon as it was opened it was seen that the contents were seperating leaving a pool of yellow oil which looked very poor. On tasting the non oil content I could discern no improvement in flavour. I cannot see how your quality control department could miss this. Also how marketing was allowed to not only release the product but dramatically increase the price ... more
