Limited-edition, collectible tin available in select stores nationwide mid-April
LYNDHURST, N.J., March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Filippo Berio, a global leader in premium olive oil since 1867, is commemorating “Turandot,” the final opera of legendary Italian composer Giacomo Puccini, with a limited-edition collectible tin, marking the 100th anniversary of the opera’s world premiere at the iconic Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Italy.
Widely regarded as one of Puccini’s most dramatic and enduring works, “Turandot” tells the story of a mysterious princess who challenges her suitors with three riddles in a powerful tale of love, courage, and destiny. Filippo Berio’s tribute, and the latest addition to its special Opera Collection, features an elegant gold tin embossed with a striking image of Princess Turandot. The commemorative tin will be available at select retailers nationwide starting mid-April.
Filippo Berio’s connection to Puccini is deeply rooted in shared heritage. The composer was born in Lucca, Italy, the same Tuscan town where Filippo Berio established his olive oil company in 1867. Lucca’s rich cultural legacy has helped shape generations of artistic and culinary excellence, making this tribute especially meaningful.
“Giacomo Puccini’s operas possess a timeless beauty that continues to inspire generation after generation around the world,” said Marco De Feo, Vice President of Marketing, Filippo Berio USA Ltd. “We are honored to celebrate ‘Turandot’ and its extraordinary legacy. Rooted in olive oil heritage and inspired by timeless opera, Filippo Berio embraces the same spirit of artistry, blending tradition, craftsmanship, and passion to create olive oils that elevate everyday moments around food.”
The release of Filippo Berio’s special “Turandot” tins coincides with major cultural celebrations honoring the opera’s centennial. Florida Grand Opera will present a new production of “Turandot”, opening March 7, 2026, at the Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami. The milestone production will welcome an official cultural delegation from Lucca and Torre del Lago, Italy – Puccini’s homeland. As a gesture of appreciation, each performer will receive Filippo Berio’s commemorative tin in recognition of their role in honoring the composer’s final masterpiece.
Following the Florida performances, Filippo Berio plans to extend the Opera experiential activation to New York and additional major U.S. cities throughout the remainder of the year, bringing the celebration of Italian heritage and culinary artistry to audiences nationwide.
Each iconic “Turandot” tin contains one liter of Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a well-balanced oil crafted from select olives, featuring fresh fruity and grassy notes. Its versatility makes it ideal for finishing dishes, dressing salads, enhancing sauces, or bringing depth of flavor to a wide range of recipes.
