Criteria for selecting a suitable supplier for restaurants

Traceability and constant quality

A good supplier must guarantee complete traceability of their orange and lemon pressed oil: origin of the olives, varieties, harvest date, identity of the fruits used for co-crushing. Favor producers who can provide certificates, analyses, and batch history, as for an organic ripe fruity olive oil or a trio of oils.

Formats, packaging, and stock rotation

In restaurants, the 500 ml format, dark bottle, or 5 L canister are preferred to limit oxidation and streamline service. Check the BBD, bottling date, and adjust the order frequency to your usage volume. A professional supplier often offers adapted formats, such as the 5 L canister, and a fast replenishment service.

Logistics, lead times, and minimum order

Anticipate lead times: back to school is a period of high stock tension. Ask for average lead times, delivery days, minimum order (often around 12 to 24 bottles for custom-pressed oils), shipping costs, and payment terms. For custom projects or large volumes, contact the sales department dedicated to professionals.

Checklist for successful procurement

1. Request the technical sheet and the batch analysis certificate.
2. Verify the origin of the olives and citrus fruits.
3. Choose the appropriate format for your use (bottle or canister).
4. Anticipate stock rotation and order frequency.
5. Confirm delivery times before back to school.
6. Ensure the minimum order is compatible with your activity.
7. Evaluate the possibility of customizing the bottle with your image.

The distinguishing element: custom co-crushing

Some suppliers offer custom co-crushing, starting from 24 bottles, allowing you to use your own citrus fruits or choose the percentage of orange and lemon. This service, rare in France, allows you to create an exclusive oil for your establishment, thus differentiating your menu from September.
