Albanian Olive Oil for the Diaspora: Shipping to Italy, Germany, Greece and England
Contents
There are dozens of olive oils on the shelves of Milan, Stuttgart and London. None of them have the taste you remember from the table at home. This is the reason why the suitcases returning from Albania always weigh more than they should.
The alternative to the suitcase
Direct shipping solves three problems at once: you're not limited by the weight of your luggage, you don't risk broken bottles in your clothes, and you don't have to wait until summer vacation. We ship worldwide through international partners, with delivery usually by your country's local postal service.
Places with the highest demand
- Italy: the shortest and most popular route for us, after exporting over 2,200 tons during 2023-2024
- Germany and Switzerland: high demand for certified organic product
- Greece: regardless of local production, Albanian families demand the oil of origin
- England: larger orders to amortize shipping costs
- USA and Canada: Infrequent shipments, in larger quantities
Long distance packing
Dark glass protects quality, but requires mechanical protection. For shipments abroad, we use cushioning materials and reinforced cardboard. For larger quantities, tin containers are practical because they weigh less and do not break, while the protection from light remains complete.
Cost, customs and time
Within the European Union the procedures are simpler. For countries outside the EU, customs fees or import VAT may apply, which is borne by the buyer. Deadlines depend on destination and customs processing time.

Gift that bears the origin
The 0.5L and 0.75L bottles work well as a gift for a colleague, neighbor or business partner abroad. For packaging ideas, see the article on gift packages.
