Cheers to the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation’s House of Purple fundraiser! 🌿💜   As proud sponsors, we were thrilled to join this amazing evening where our team – Marco De Feo, Young Koepke and Carlo Gualdoni – stood alongside a community deeply dedicated to advancing Alzheimer’s research. The venue came alive in vibrant shades of purple, the color of Alzheimer's awareness and a symbol of the commitment to finding a cure for this disease.   A highlight of the night? Guests enjoyed a unique olive oil-infused cocktail crafted with care – a nod to the potential brain health benefits of olive oil. As studies continue to uncover its role in supporting cognitive health, we’re reminded how even the simplest ingredients can contribute to something much bigger.   A heartfelt thank you to Mark Roithmayr and the ADDF team for hosting such an impactful event and to everyone who joined us in supporting this crucial cause.

When it comes to our new line of eight tomato-based sauces, our CEO Dusan Kaljevic says it best, “Time is always at a premium, but consumers shouldn’t have to sacrifice quality to be able to prepare a nourishing and flavorful meal in minutes.”   It’s our focus on uncompromised quality that led us to create recipes with fresh, clean ingredients like 100% Italian tomatoes and our high-quality Filippo Berio extra virgin olive oil in every jar — Marinara, Tomato Basil, Arrabbiata, Roasted Garlic, Mushroom, Traditional Italian, Olive and Grilled Vegetable. With no added sugars, each one is very versatile, fulfilling a unique need in the kitchen, from layering in lasagna to dressing pasta, meat or seafood.   Additionally, each variety features a vibrant, eye-catching label, with a veritable rainbow of flavors and culinary experiences calling to shoppers from the shelf.   Read more in Progressive Grocer: https://lnkd.in/gjWq7xK3 Find our delicious sauces in a store near you: https://lnkd.in/gSrsWDgR

We are honored to receive the prestigious Editor’s Pick award in the 2024 Best New Product category for our Truffle Pesto! Thank you to Progressive Grocer for choosing this pesto, which brings the rich flavor and luxury of black summer truffles to a variety of recipes.   We know shoppers have delighted in discovering that our Truffle Pesto requires no heating or cooking, making it convenient and highly versatile to elevate any dish such as eggs, potatoes (including truffle fries) or red meats. Stirring it into freshly cooked pasta creates a delicious, creamy sauce.   As one of the top-selling pesto brands in the U.S., our introduction of an expanded pesto line packed in a 100% recyclable glass jar underscores Filippo Berio's commitment to sustainability, continuous flavor innovation, high-quality ingredients and clean labeling to meet evolving consumer preferences, further fueling the growth of the pesto category.

As part of Careers through Culinary Arts Program’s Summer Job Training program, C-CAP students gather every year in New York City and get inspired by industry professionals, gain hands-on experience and receive expert mentorship. After finishing the training, the students go on to paid internships to further hone their skills. This year, Filippo Berio USA Ltd.’s team – Marco De Feo, Marco Auriti, Young Koepke and Carlo Gualdoni – hosted an educational olive oil workshop.   Students learned about olive oil production, olive oil health benefits and most importantly, different kinds of olive oil types and flavors that would work best in their food preparation and cooking. They all put that learning into action in the kitchen and created beautiful dishes by using Filippo Berio olive oils.   Thank you to C-CAP for having our team of experts be a part of this amazing opportunity! It was inspiring and thought-provoking to experience the future chefs’ passion and excitement in using and appreciating our products in their innovative culinary experiments!

Two recent studies from researchers funded by the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation suggest lifestyle interventions like exercise and healthy eating can be used to modify—and potentially halt—the progression of Alzheimer’s. This research adds to the growing body of evidence showing that prevention through lifestyle changes, like a healthy diet including olive oil, may play a critical role in decreasing the risk of Alzheimer’s or slowing progression of the disease. We’re so proud of our exclusive partnership with the ADDF to help raise awareness of the incredible work this organization is doing to find a cure for Alzheimer’s and related dementias.
