Gallo Worldwide
Gallo Worldwide is a joint venture between Unilever and Sociedade Francisco Manuel dos Santos, owner of the Gallo brand, founded in Portugal in 1919 by Victor Guedes. At Gallo, we've been passionate about olive oil since the beginning, and we've worked in this magical world for over 100 years. Today, we are the first Portuguese brand of olive oil in the world, and fourth in the world ranking. The reputation of our oils was built on a solid foundation of quality and a constant thirst for new knowledge. But our passion is not limited to olive oil: we also explore the worlds of vinegar, spicy sauces and table olives, which we carefully produce, based on a fundamental principle that we never neglect: that of the unquestionable quality of our products. Our ambition, in everything we produce, is to provide authentic flavors that make a difference in people's dishes. We have been present in the kitchens and tables of thousands of consumers for four generations, witnessing moments full of flavor, shared between family and friends. Today, our products are used in the culinary creations of people in over 40 countries.
