Sourcing

Certified Origins sprouted from humble beginnings when a small collective of olive farmers in rural Tuscany, Italy, joined their passion for producing fresh, authentic extra virgin olive oil. We are still cooperative owned to this day, and source our olives directly from farmers in the Mediterranean. This confidence and trust built over decades means we can guarantee the quality of our products, and gives us access to scale.

Production

We have state-of-the-art, 4.0 production lines for traceable extra virgin olive oil. Using innovative Internet of Things (IoT) technology framework, we have optimal production efficiency and continuous monitoring to ensure supply consistency with faster planning of production and related shipments.

Research and Traceability

Since 2019 we have invested over $1 Million in Research & Development in transparency & traceability.

We are certified as ISO 22005 to guarantee traceability and the first olive oil company operating on Oracle blockchain technology to ensure transparency. Using this innovative Oracle blockchain and new 4.0 Production IoT technologies, we track each shipment to reduce the risk of information manipulation at the source, while ensuring food supply chain transparency.

Sustainability Intiatives

● Carbon Neutrality: Certified Origins launched multiple lines of carbon-neutral Italian EVOOs under its flagship brand Bellucci.

● Loop: Certified Origins has signed a partnership with Loop to adhere to the global packaging reuse platform program launching the first refillable Italian Bellucci Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Distribution and Warehousing

Our international distribution and warehousing network and services mean we can deliver anywhere in the globe within 4-8 weeks, and in as short as 2 days in the USA and Canada.

At Certified Origins we are also pioneering and investing in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technology to verify EVOO origin authenticity. This research is in partnership with University of Salento and can verify Extra Virgin Olive Oil origin authenticity. A large private database of unique «fingerprints» with +1k different origin olive oils is able to provide scientific support to EVOO authenticity, and each year our database increases by hundreds of samples to further improve the accuracy of the results.

● Pet 50% Recycled: Certified Origins converted PET used for packaging from virgin material to 50% recycled material www.certifiedorigins.com

● Green Energy: Certified Origins uses energy supplied by photovoltaic panels and olive pits as a fuel source.
