Bertolli’s Newest Innovation Helps More Americans Start Cooking with Olive Oil

The world’s No. 1 olive oil brand is launching a new everyday cooking oil that combines the familiarity of canola oil with the goodness of Bertolli olive oil to help cooks discover how easy cooking with this healthy Mediterranean staple can be. 

 

DALLAS — Although olive oil is widely recognized as one of the best cooking oils1, 43% of U.S. households2 still don’t use it. Home cooks say that price, flavor preferences and uncertainty about how to cook with olive oil is what holds back millions of Americans from bringing it into their everyday kitchens. 

To help bridge that gap, Bertolli, the world’s No. 1 olive oil brand, is introducing Bertolli Canola + Olive Oil, a new Healthy Blend, which is designed to bring the goodness of Bertolli olive oil to even more American kitchens. Combining 85% canola oil and 15% Bertolli olive oil, this innovative product delivers the familiar cooking experience consumers know and trust while offering an easy way to start incorporating olive oil into everyday meals. 

“Bertolli Canola + Olive Oil was created for the millions of households that haven’t yet started cooking with olive oil,” said Maca Garau, Vice President of Marketing North America and LATAM at Deoleo. “For those who already cook with olive oil every day, we hope they continue doing exactly that. Our ambition is to help more people discover how easy and enjoyable cooking with olive oil can be by giving them a familiar place to start — and that’s exactly what our new ‘Bring the Oomph’ campaign is about. Sometimes all it takes is a little oomph to turn an everyday meal into something worth talking about.” 

Designed as the new everyday cooking oil for Canola users, Bertolli Canola + Olive Oil combines the neutral taste, versatility and high-heat performance that consumers expect from canola oil and the health benefits of both oils, including omega-3 ALA and vitamin E3. This new-to-market product is suitable for everything from sautéing and roasting to baking. It fits naturally into a wide variety of recipes and cooking occasions.  

“For decades, Bertolli has helped consumers enjoy the benefits of olive oil,” said Thierry Moyroud, CEO of Deoleo North America and LATAM. “With Bertolli Canola + Olive Oil, we’re making those benefits more accessible to millions of households that have yet to embrace olive oil in their everyday cooking. We believe growing the olive oil category starts by making that first step easier.” 

Bertolli Canola + Olive Oil is now available at Kroger stores nationwide in two sizes: a 25.36 fl. oz. squeeze and 50.72 fl. oz. family-size bottle. This product is also available for purchase on Amazon in squeeze bottle and family size bottles, as well as online through Amazon, and will be rolling out to other retailers soon. Retail prices start at $6.99 and vary by market.

LivAway Suites® Breaks Ground in Montgomery, Continues Rapid Nationwide Expansion

MONTGOMERY, Ala., Aug. 18, 2026  — LivAway Suites, one of the nation’s fastest growing economy extended stay brands, has broken ground on its first hotel in Alabama, marking the company’s entry into the state and another milestone in its continued expansion across the Southeast.

The Montgomery property is part of a broader regional expansion that includes upcoming locations in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, building on a national footprint of 13 hotels open from Maine to Washington.

Each LivAway Suites property offers suites that are 20% larger than the segment average, with full kitchens and dedicated workspaces. On-site amenities include a fitness center, smart guest laundry, convenient parcel lockers, and self check-in.

LivAway offers affordable rates for longer stays and serves relocating professionals, construction and infrastructure workers, healthcare travelers, military personnel and families, insurance displacement guests, and anyone seeking furnished accommodations for weeks or months at a time.

The Montgomery location is positioned to serve a range of travelers looking for extended stay accommodations in the Montgomery area, offering convenient access to Maxwell Air Force Base and Maxwell Gunter Annex for military personnel and visiting families, Auburn University at Montgomery for faculty, students, and visitors, and the Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Plant and surrounding supplier facilities for business travelers, contractors, and project teams.

“Life doesn’t always fit into a one-night hotel stay or a long-term commitment,” said Mike Nielson, CEO of LivAway Suites. “More people than ever need a place to land for a few weeks or a few months, and they deserve something better than simply making do. That’s why we built LivAway Suites. Every LivAway is brand new and purpose-built for longer stays, offering full kitchens, more space, quieter rooms, and the flexibility people need to maintain their routine while away. We’re proud to bring that experience to Montgomery.”

The Montgomery development represents another investment in LivAway’s expanding national portfolio and will create construction jobs during development as well as permanent hospitality positions upon opening.
