Make it Better with Bertolli!

October 29, 2015 By Lena

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

There are a few brands in my pantry that I consider “iconic”. At the top of that list: Bertolli Olive Oil.

Renowned as the world’s leading brand of olive oil, the Bertolli tradition began in 1865 in Italy in the small town of Lucca. There, Francesco and Caterina Bertolli opened a trading shop underneath the family home, where they sold olive oil.

Thank you, Francesco and Caterina, for bringing deliciousness into the homes all around the world for more than 150 years. From full-bodied to mild and sweet, the Bertolli range has an olive oil for all my cooking needs. oo_landing_bottles_newSalads, pasta dishes and grilled vegetables come to life with Bertolli Originale or Gentile Extra Virgin Olive Oil. For an all-purpose cooking oil for stews and sautés,  I always reach for Bertolli Classico Olive Oil for its mild olive taste. And when I want a light tasting all-purpose oil with a very high smoke point (including deep frying and baking), I can trust Bertolli Delicato Extra Light Tasting Olive Oil.

And now, Bertolli introduces 100% Olive Oil Sprays! Available in Extra Virgin and Extra Light Tasting Olive Oil, these new products offer the versatility of 100% olive oil for both raw and cooked dishes, with the convenience of portion control and just 4 calories per spray. Plus, they are all natural and contain no gas propellants. 

Did You Know:

– Olive oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, in particular oleic acid, which helps keep the cardio circulatory system in good health.

– Olive oil is 77% unsaturated fat and is naturally cholesterol-free.

– Olive oil is rich in anti-oxidants that are said to provide many health benefits, including prevention of heart disease and cancer. Anti-oxidants are also said to protect us from free radicals, thus helping to fight the cell aging process.

– One serving of Bertolli extra virgin olive oil provides 12% of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin E.

You can find these recipes, plus smart cooking tips, online at bertolli.ca. Olive oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, in particular oleic acid, which helps keep the cardio circulatory system in good health. Unsaturated fats help maintain the body’s arterial elasticity and positively affect the “good” cholesterol (HDH).

    Bertolli Olive Oil has been a mainstay in my family for many, many years. From my mom who always cooked with it, to my wife who can’t do without it, and myself whenever I feel like playing kitchen chef. Not only does it make foods taste better, but it gives that authentic back home Italian taste. Something the other olive oils can’t seem to do.
