Olive Oil Tins Wholesale: 3, 4, 5 and 10 Litres, Under Your Label

In short. We supply Tunisian olive oil in tins of 3, 4, 5 and 10 L, in metal or PET, filled at our bottling site in Sfax under your label. Grades: extra virgin, organic extra virgin, virgin and olive pomace oil. A 5 L tin holds about 4.6 kg of oil; a 10 L tin is about 2.6 US gallons. Each lot ships with its COA.

Tins are the working format of the olive oil trade: kitchens buy them, wholesalers stock them, and in many markets shops sell 3 to 5 L tins next to bottles. For a distributor or a brand, the tin is also the simplest private label product to launch: one shape, one label, a long shelf life.

Why tins

No light gets in. Light speeds up oxidation; a metal tin blocks it completely.
Robust in transport. Tins travel well on pallets and do not break, which matters for long sea routes and for kitchens.
Lower packing cost per litre than small glass bottles, because one unit holds more oil.
Clear on the shelf. A printed or labelled tin carries your brand and the grade on a large surface.

PET containers are lighter and cost less; metal protects better against light and keeps its shape. Both are available in 3, 4, 5 and 10 L. For retail shelves, we also fill 1 L glass and PET bottles.

Buyers in the United States often ask for a "5 gallon" container (18.9 L). Our largest tin is 10 L; above that, oil ships in bulk: drums of 200 to 216 L, IBC of 1,000 L or flexitank. Container loads are on our formats and container capacity page; the load for each tin size is confirmed on the quote.

Which oil goes in the tin

Extra virgin: acidity ≤ 0.80%, for retail and quality-led kitchens. Mild Chemlali or a blend with more character, to your choice.
Organic extra virgin: EU organic and USDA NOP lots; EU organic status for new-harvest lots is subject to the EU regime applicable at delivery. See the organic hub.
Virgin: acidity ≤ 2.0%, for cooking at a lower cost.
Olive pomace oil: for frying and food service, sold under its own name and never as "olive oil".

The grade on your label must be the grade on the lot's COA. For a retail chain, IFS Food or BRCGS certification of the packing site is usually required: both are part of our certification file, sent on request before any order. See certifications.

Your label on the tin

Private label covers the oil (grade, variety, blend, profile) and the label. Tins come from our catalogue sizes; there is no custom tin shape.

You send your design, or the text and logo you want.
We check the mandatory mentions for your market with you. In the European Union (Reg. 2022/2104):
- the category name with its legal sentence (art. 6), for example "extra virgin olive oil: superior category olive oil obtained directly from olives and solely by mechanical means";
- the net quantity;
- the origin, for extra virgin and virgin olive oil only: it is forbidden on olive pomace oil and on blended "olive oil" (art. 8);
- the lot number and the best-before date;
- the storage advice: keep away from light and heat (art. 7).
Other markets have their own rules: our labelling guide by market lists them.
We fill, label and pack in cartons or on pallets, analyse the lot and ship from Sfax.

The full private label offer is on private label olive oil. For retail packaging choices beyond tins (glass, PET bottles), see our article on retail packaging formats.

Buyer side. Fix the tin size, material, grade and label in the order, and keep a sample of the first lot as reference. Seller side. Fill by net weight with a calibrated scale and print the lot number on every tin: it is your traceability in case of a claim.

FAQ: olive oil tins wholesale

What tin sizes do you offer?

Tins of 3, 4, 5 and 10 L, in metal or PET. For retail shelves we also fill 1 L glass and PET bottles.

How much olive oil is in a 5 litre tin?

About 4.6 kg, since one litre of olive oil weighs about 0.913 kg.

Do you sell olive oil in 5 gallon containers?

A US 5 gallon container holds 18.9 L. Our largest tin is 10 L (about 2.6 US gallons); for larger volumes, we ship in drums, IBC or flexitank.

Can I put my own brand on the tins?

Yes. We fill and label the tins with your design at our bottling site. The customisation covers the oil and the label; tin shapes come from our catalogue.

Metal or PET: which is better?

Metal blocks light completely and is sturdier; PET is lighter and cheaper. For long storage or retail display of extra virgin, metal is the safer choice.

Which grades are available in tins?

Extra virgin, organic extra virgin, virgin and olive pomace oil. The grade on the label always matches the COA of the lot.

Can the label show "Product of Tunisia"?

For extra virgin and virgin olive oil, yes. In the EU, the origin may not be stated on olive pomace oil or on blended "olive oil" (Reg. 2022/2104, art. 8).

Is there a minimum order?

No minimum, but each shipment carries fixed costs, so the cost per litre is lowest in a full container. We do not consolidate with other customers; a partial container is possible.

Do you supply tins to restaurants directly?

We supply restaurant groups and distributors that import. A single restaurant usually buys through a local distributor that we supply.

What documents come with an order of tins?

A COA per lot, commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin, plus any document your market requires.
