Bulk Tunisian olive oil

For bottlers, blenders, refiners and food manufacturers: from premium extra virgin to lampante, loaded in Tunisia in flexitanks, ISO tanks, drums or IBCs.

Bulk is our core business. Our network of partner mills gives us access to over 30,000 metric tons of Tunisian olive oil per harvest season, bought directly at the source — no middlemen, which means the best prices on the market. We lab-test every lot and organize export to your facilities: bottling plants, blending operations, refineries.

You buy a profile and an origin, not a promise: every offer ships with the analysis report of the actual lot, and a counter-analysis by an independent laboratory such as SGS is carried out before loading.

Every grade ships from Tunisia in the packaging that fits your process: extra virgin — including early-harvest lots rich in polyphenols —, certified organic, virgin or lampante, in flexitanks (≈ 22 tonnes per 20-ft container), ISO tanks, 200 L drums or 1,000 L IBCs. From trial volumes to campaign contracts running to thousands of tonnes.

Buying bulk Tunisian olive oil also means mastering the customs chain: the EU duty-free tariff quota, EUR.1 movement certificates, the complete export document set. We handle it end to end — buy FOB Radès or delivered to your site, spot or on a campaign contract.

Frequently asked questions — bulk buying

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for bulk?

The benchmark is a full flexitank, i.e. 20 to 24 metric tons. Smaller volumes are possible in drums or IBCs, from a few tons upward, depending on available lots.

How do you guarantee the best prices?

We buy directly from the mills, with no middlemen, and our partner network gives us access to over 30,000 metric tons per harvest season: that depth of supply lets us put lots in competition and negotiate hard. For equal quality and volume, our offer is built to be the most competitive on the market — compare for yourself.

Do you provide a certificate of analysis (COA)?

Yes, always. Every offer comes with the analysis report of the actual lot: acidity, peroxide value, K232/K270, and polyphenols on request. A counter-analysis by an independent laboratory such as SGS is carried out before loading.

What is the lead time between order and loading?

For an available lot: typically 2 to 3 weeks between confirmation and departure from the Tunisian port, depending on packaging and vessel bookings. Exact lead times are confirmed with the offer.

Can we buy spot or contract for the crop year?

Both. Spot purchases on available lots, or a crop-year contract with scheduled pickups and a pricing mechanism agreed upfront: we build the scheme that secures your supply.

Is organic oil available in bulk?

Yes. Tunisia is a major player in global organics. We supply EU-certified lots, with NOP (US) certification possible depending on the mill. Full organic documentation accompanies every lot.

What payment terms do you offer?

Bank transfer or irrevocable letter of credit, depending on the transaction profile and the history of the relationship. Precise terms are set out in the offer.

Do you ship to the United States?

Yes. We ship to the United States in line with the FDA requirements applicable to imported edible oils, and to Canada, the Gulf and Asia with the corresponding documentation.

Which olive oil grades do you offer in bulk?

Premium early-harvest extra virgin, classic extra virgin, certified organic extra virgin, virgin and lampante. Each grade is defined by the lot's certificate of analysis: acidity, peroxide value, K232/K270 and, on request, polyphenols. Send us your specification and we quote the matching lot.

Can we order smaller volumes in drums or IBCs?

Yes. 200 L drums and 1,000 L IBCs let you validate a profile or supply a small line before moving to a full flexitank (around 22 tonnes). That is the typical path for new customers: sample, then drums or IBCs, then container.

Is there customs duty on Tunisian olive oil in the EU?

The European Union grants Tunisia an annual duty-free tariff quota for olive oil; beyond it, specific duties apply. We manage the EUR.1 certificate and shipping schedule to optimise your landed cost — our delivered quotes factor these parameters in.

Where can I track olive oil market prices?

The public references are the International Olive Council statistics and the Spanish and Italian producer-price observatories. Our offers track those markets, adjusted for grade and lot profile — and we publish campaign analyses in our knowledge hub.
