Sos acquired Dante, along with other brands such as Maya and San Giorgio, as part of its EUR630m (US$846m) acquisition of Bertolli from Unilever last summer.


“Sos has previously said that it intends to dispose of the non-core businesses. This includes certain units acquired as part of the Bertolli deal with Unilever,” a spokesperson for the company confirmed.
