Criteria for selecting a professional supplier
Traceability and origin
A reputable supplier must guarantee the complete traceability of their oil: origin of the olives, extraction method, harvest date. Favor producers who clearly display this information on their batches.
Suitable formats and packaging
In restaurants, garlic and chili pressed olive oil comes in several formats:
- 200 ml or 500 ml bottle for table finishing.
- 3 L or 5 L can for kitchen use and high rotation.
- Jeroboam for presentation or buffets.
The choice depends on the type of service and consumption rate. If you want to vary the profiles, the 200 ml olive oil trio allows you to test several flavors in the dining room.
Logistics and lead times
Reliable supply includes:
- Short delivery times (2 to 5 working days for most professionals in France).
- Regular replenishment, adapted to seasonality and the menu.
- Clearly announced shipping costs that decrease with volume.
For large or custom orders, the commercial service dedicated to professionals supports every step.
Points to check before placing an order
1. Sampling and tasting
Do not hesitate to request a sample before referencing a supplier. This allows you to check the accuracy of the aroma, the spiciness of the chili, the balance with garlic, and the quality of the base oil.
2. Menu adaptation
Analyze your uses: pizza, pasta, roasted vegetables, grilled meats, sharing platters... Garlic and chili olive oil can be used as a finishing touch, in marinades, or as a condiment on the table. Consider varying the profiles to enrich the customer experience.
3. Stock management and rotation
Flavored olive oil should be consumed fresh. Prefer frequent orders in small volumes to ensure renewal and avoid oxidation. Storage in stainless steel containers or dark bottles extends preservation.
To save time, opt for garlic and chili oil in a 5 L container for the kitchen and smaller bottles for table service.
