An Italy-based olive oil company is making its mark in the United States with its first production facility in Newport News. Governor Glenn Youngkin announced Wednesday that Certified Origins, an Italy-based company focused on providing fresh and authentic extra virgin olive oil, will invest $25 million to establish its first U.S. production facility in Newport News to meet increased demand for its branded and private-label products.

The company’s new operation will be located at the Oakland Industrial Park. It will select and import high-quality extra virgin olive oils through The Port of Virginia to offer craft blends and tailored packaging solutions for local and global markets.
