The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Colavita began in 1938 in Campania, Italy, founded by the Colavita family. They produce extra virgin olive oil from olives grown in southern Italy. The brand bottled and exported oil when most competitors sold in bulk. Today Colavita operates across North America and Europe as a mid-scale producer. Their oil ranks first among tracked Food, Beverages & Snacks brands, appearing across 21,133 total tracked brands. The company remains family-owned and sells primarily through retail grocers.
