FinanceDeoleo, the world's largest olive-oil producer, announced that its two largest investors—Ole Investments (CVC Capital Partners) and funds managed by Alchemy Partners—are reviewing strategic alternatives for their shareholdings, including a possible sale of all or part of the company's assets. The filing follows media reports that Spanish olive-oil cooperative Dcoop is leading a bid to acquire CVC's stake for €470 million. Other potential interested parties include Coricelli, New Princes Group, Avril, and Australia's Cobram Estate Olives, though Cobram denied involvement. Deoleo cautioned that no definitive decision has been made. The company reported an 8.7% sales decline in the first half of 2026 to €393.2 million, though net profit surged to €19.4 million.
