Understanding the Benefits of Orange and Lemon Co-Crushed Olive Oil in Restaurants
Orange and lemon co-crushed olive oil, obtained by co-crushing fresh citrus fruits with olives during extraction, is not just a simple flavored oil with added aroma. This technique guarantees natural aromatic intensity and freshness, perfectly suited for a summer menu, whether as a dressing for salads, carpaccios, or desserts, or as a finishing touch on grilled fish. Oils produced using this method, such as orange and lemon olive oil, are now sought after by establishments looking to offer a unique dining experience.

Selection Criteria for Reliable Sourcing
Origin, Process, and Seasonality
Prioritize an oil whose origin, olive variety, and co-crushing method are clearly indicated. Calabrian origin, renowned for the quality of its citrus fruits and olives, provides an additional guarantee. Check the harvest date and the freshness of the batch, as the citrus aroma fades faster than a plain oil.
Formats and Quantities Adapted for Restaurants
- 200 ml to 500 ml bottles for finishing at the table
- 5 L containers for refilling oil dispensers or for kitchen use
- Possibility of customized formats for signature tables
Consult available formats, such as the 5 L organic olive oil container, to manage your needs according to rotation and season.
Traceability and Labeling
Always request the complete label: mention of co-crushing, lot number, best before date, information on potential allergens. Rigorous traceability reassures your team and your clientele.
Logistical Organization and Inventory Management
Order Planning
To avoid shortages, anticipate the high consumption season (May to September) and adjust your orders according to the delivery time announced by the supplier. An average delivery time of 5 to 7 days is common for orange and lemon co-crushed olive oil, excluding customization.
Storage and Rotation
Citrus-flavored olive oil should be stored away from light and heat. Plan for stock rotation every two to three months to ensure optimal aromatic expression in the dining room.
Exclusive Tip: Customization and Group Orders
For a bottle customized with your name or your establishment's name, the minimum order is 24 bottles. This option, which needs to be planned in advance, helps strengthen your establishment's identity while managing logistics.
