Bangkok, 20 April 2021 – BERTOLLI(R), the world’s number one olive oil brand, has launched a series of illustrated cooking tips for condo-dwellers, furthering its connection with local consumers. The illustrated mini-series celebrates the ingenuity of Thai condo-dwellers in a humorous manner to provide fun yet practical tips for ‘surviving’ condo home-cooking.
To make the content more relatable and easier to understand, BERTOLLI collaborated with popular Thai illustrator Reenp to create eight modern-day, easily identifiable stories set around a young Thai female living in a condo setting. The illustrations walk viewers through practical tips ranging from meal planning to selecting versatile ingredients and encourage people to make cooking a memorable moment – even in limited spaces.
“After more than 30 successful years in Thailand, our connection with Thai consumers is more evident than ever, with Thais increasingly focused on their health while at the same time spending more time cooking and eating at home. This is particularly relevant to younger Thais who are finding their independence or looking to take care of others, including their families, and we specifically had these people in mind when considering the ‘Tips for a Condo Dweller’ series.” said Jose Maria-Sagrado Jimenez, International Marketing Director, DEOLEO GLOBAL S.A.U.
“With Thai consumers becoming more sustainable and healthier, we know Bertolli’s adaptability perfectly suits any lifestyle and hope more Thai kitchens, regardless of size or location, are able to elevate their daily meals with the benefits of Olive Oil.”
The illustrated mini-series comes on the heels of Bertolli’s recent video advertisement made specifically for Thailand and featuring local talent. Set in a Thai kitchen, the video highlights Bertolli’s versatility and suitability for Thai dishes, as well as its nutritional value and health benefits.
“Thais truly understand the joy of cooking and eating together, and these are values we truly believe in at Bertolli. As people continue to stay safe and spend more time at home, cooking with their families and loved ones, we feel it is more important than ever to share these stories”, continued Jose Maria-Sagrado Jimenez.
Bertolli Olive Oil is available in Thailand through its versatile range of Bertolli Extra Light Tasting, Bertolli Olive Oil, Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Bertolli Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, making it easy to prepare any type of Thai dish, regardless of cooking style – be it deep frying, stir frying, salads, marinades, roasting or even baking – and boosting the body’s immune system to help prevent cardiovascular diseases and contribute to lower bloody pressure and risk of heart disease.

Shah Alam, April 20, 2021 – As Malaysia is on the road to recovery, many of us are returning to a more rigorous daily routine of work, education, exercise or leisure. We need to safeguard and maintain our health, and increase our immune system.
In Conjunction with World Health Day in April, it is indeed time to make a commitment to eating cleaner, leaner and tastier. Heart healthy Omega-3 should be on the menu to get you back on track, thanks to its many health benefits.
Omega-3 fatty acids are naturally found in cold water fish, algae, other marine sources and in flax seeds. Saba and tuna are especially rich in Omega-3, and are much tastier than popping Omega-3 supplements!
The time is now to get your daily dose of heart healthy Omega-3 with Ayam Brand™ Tuna or Ayam Brand™ Saba. Here are some of the health benefits of increasing your Omega-3 intake.
Omega-3 benefits is essential for development and growth!
Omega-3 is said to render cellular membranes supple, and the smooth passage of signals through neuronal membranes is key for several brain functions during childhood development, and throughout life. EPA and DHA are also said to reduce the symptoms of dyslexia, ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder), and other learning, behavioural and coordination disorders in children.
Ladies, get your daily Omega-3
The fatty acids in fish oil improve skin barrier function, prevent UV-induced inflammation and hyperpigmentation, decrease itch and dry skin, and aid skin wound healing.
Women are generally more likely to get osteoporosis than men as women tend to have smaller and thinner bones. In addition, the risk increases as women reach menopause due to the drop of oestrogen level which protects the bones. 4
The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that adults get 8 or more ounces of oily fish per week (at least 250mg/day of omega 3) as this level has been shown to maintain healthy bones.
All adults benefit from Omega-3
A study by the Association for International Cancer Research found that regular dose of Omega-3 consumption boosted skin immunity to sunlight. It reduced immunosuppression which interrupts the body’s capability to fight infection and skin cancer. Hence, omega-3 fish oils help to protect against skin cancer.
Seniors should increase their Omega-3 intake
Benefits to seniors include a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, other conditions of mental deterioration, and possibly age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Omega-3 is also being researched for its role in reducing sleep disorders, anxiety, and impaired immune response.
Ayam Brand Saba Rice
Saba is especially rich in Omega-3, 1 can of Ayam Brand Chilli Saba contain the equivalent of eight fish oil capsules, but much more delicious and conveniently packed in easy-open cans. Ayam Brand uses sustainably caught tuna and saba, without artificial preservatives or added MSG for a cleaner eating. Each can of Ayam Brand Saba or Tuna has more than 500mg per 100g of Omega-3 for a scrumptiously healthy addition to your meal. Ayam Brand Tuna, and Ayam Brand Saba are available nationwide in. They are ready to eat directly from the can, or can be used in a variety of delicious meals to suit your taste including sandwiches, fried rice, fried noodles, congee and more.
