Olive oil supplier Filippo Berio is to distribute premium Italian pasta brand Delverde.

The 23 lines, due to roll out later this year, include long and short shapes (rsp: £1.59 for 500g), nests (rsp: £1.39 for 250g), lasagne (rsp: £2.59 for 500g), an organic wholewheat selection (£1.89 for 500g) and flour for making pasta.

Filippo Berio is hoping for a boost after an 8.1% slump in olive oil sales to £30.1m over the past year [SymphonyIRI 52w/e 17 March 2012].
