We have made the choice to include a Tesla Supercharger point in our facility, thus providing an incentive for sustainable mobility.

We are the first enterprise in Italy to acquire Benefit Corporation certification, thanks to our transparency and our compliance with strict social and environmental standards.

A new look for the Carli Recipe Book, to celebrate our centenary. A special gift for our customers, with a wealth of new recipes and culinary traditions.

On 29 May, Gian Franco, the grandchild of the founder Giovanni, receives from the Italian President Giorgio Napolitano the title of “Cavaliere al Merito del Lavoro”, or Order of Merit for Labor just like his father Carlo did in 1983.

Fratelli Carli makes its début in France, taking all the quality and genuine flavor of our products across the border

On 9 July, Carlo, the son of the company’s founder Giovanni, receives from the Italian President Sandro Pertini the title of “Cavaliere al Merito del Lavoro”, or Order of Merit for Labor.

An investment in the future. The purchase of the Rapanelli olive mill is a step towards a cutting-edge production process that teams tradition with innovation. 

Facing out onto the majestic stairway at the entrance to the new headquarters is the new Mechanographic Center. Once again, we have looked into the crystal ball and foreseen the future.

From this year onwards, the Chemical Analysis Laboratory hosted at our plant since 1925 is put in charge of issuing the Food Warranty Certificate we put on each product item.

In February we are again open for business and we send our new, first post-war price list to the list of clients we had jealously treasured throughout the war.

Two days before Christmas, Imperia is bombarded and our headquarters receive a hit that completely destroys our oil production plant.

After the fifth consecutive supply of Olio Carli olive oil, H.R.H. Vittorio Emanuele III grants us the warrant as Official Suppliers to the Royal Family.

The plant in Via degli Orti is too small, so we establish a new one in via Garessio in a Liberty style building designed by the architect Rodolfo Winter.

Once again it is Plinio Codognato, inspired by a photograph of Angiola, Giovanni’s little daughter, who creates the trademark, the famous ‘little girl with demijohn’ image.

The pen of the famous poster designer Plinio Codognato creates the Fratelli Carli logotype that will identify our company for the next 87 years.

The family’s printing works are a major asset. We print out our first price list so as to keep in contact with our new clientele.
