What is bulk organic olive oil for an organic brand?

Bulk organic olive oil for an organic brand is a supply of certified organic extra virgin oil (Ecocert, USDA NOP, EU Organic), delivered in flexitank/IBC/drum to a brand launching or extending an organic range — in bulk or packaged under its label. Zitouna Export supplies certified Tunisian oil, with high polyphenols, with COA and certificate number per lot. Indicative price from €3.85/kg FOB.

An organic brand cannot afford any approximation on certification: "organic" is a controlled certification of the production method, not a mere marketing argument. Our role is to secure a genuinely certified, award-winning and competitive organic origin to launch your range.

The need of an organic brand launching a range

Launching an organic olive oil range confronts a brand with specific requirements, on three fronts:

Flawless certification — Ecocert / USDA NOP / EU Organic depending on the target markets. An "organic" claim without a valid certificate = customs blockage and legal risk. The certificate must cover plots AND mill.
Access to organic markets — Germany is the 1st organic market in Europe (certification near-mandatory), the US requires USDA NOP: the brand must provide the right certification for each destination.
A premium story and margin — organic is valued) and demands credible storytelling: origin, terroir, polyphenols, health argument.

Add to this, for a young brand, the need for an accessible MOQ to test the market before scaling.

Steps to launch your organic range

How do you launch an organic olive oil range? In six steps, from positioning to first shipment.

Positioning & markets — you define the category (organic extra virgin), the profile, the target markets (hence the certification: Ecocert, USDA…) and the format.
Certified sample & COA — dispatch of an organic sample with its COA and its certificate number; validation of the profile and the polyphenol/EFSA argument.
Dated quotation — delivered price bulk or packaged, filling and packaging if private label.
Certification & labelling — validation of the organic statements compliant with the market (EU leaf logo, USDA NOP, language).
Production on a separate organic line — filling separate from conventional, COA + organic certificate of the final lot.
Shipment — export documents (invoice, packing list, B/L, EUR.1, COA, organic certificate) and follow-up.

Allow 6 to 12 weeks between validation and the first organic private-label shipment, less in pure bulk (indicative — to be confirmed).
