Sourcing garlic and chili pressed olive oil for caterers: criteria, logistics and presentation

The selection criteria for a garlic and chili olive oil in catering

Sourcing garlic and chili pressed olive oil for a catering service is not just a question of taste. It means choosing an oil made by co-milling, where fresh garlic and chili are crushed together with the olives, which delivers an intensity and a naturalness that added flavorings cannot match. This method, much sought after for buffets, guarantees a stable aromatic profile and a true Italian signature on your dishes.

Points to check before ordering

1. Origin and traceability of the olives and the fresh ingredients.
2. Extraction method: favor co-milling over added flavorings.
3. Aromatic profile: balance between the heat of the chili and the sweetness of the garlic.
4. Available formats: bottles for service, cans for the kitchen.
5. Delivery lead time and stock management.

Logistics and stock management for event catering

Handling the logistics of garlic and chili olive oil in catering varies with how often you run events and the volumes you serve. Storage has to protect the oil from light and heat, especially for outdoor jobs. The 5 L can formats make quick restocking and kitchen service easier, while the 200 ml and 500 ml bottles are ideal for setting up on buffets or at the table.

Good management practices

1. Order according to the seasonality of events (peak between September and December).
2. Keep a buffer stock for last-minute jobs.
3. Use opaque containers to avoid oxidation.
4. Train your teams on the drip-free pourer and on dosing.
5. Plan regular rotation to keep the product fresh.
