Olive oil tips
Olive Oil Online: How to Order Without Compromising Quality
Contents
Buying olive oil online saves time, but you take away the opportunity to see and try the product. A few checks before pressing the order button will save you from disappointment.
Check the manufacturer, not just the site
A broker can sell any brand. The manufacturer is responsible for his own product. On the site you should find the address of the factory, direct contact and information on the olive groves. Shkrela produces in Fier, with olive groves in the hills of Ardenica, and any customer can call the number displayed on the page.
Look for these four details in the product description
- Category: extra virgin, clearly written
- The origin of the olives, not the place of packaging
- Maximum acidity
- Type of packaging and volume
If one of them is missing, ask before ordering.
Packaging for transport
Glass breaks, so it requires protection with foam or reinforced cardboard. For overseas orders, tin containers or cans are practical choices because they protect from light and weigh less. We package shipments with cushioning materials and send them through international partners, usually with delivery from your country's local postal service.
How much should you order?
Calculate consumption. A family of four uses about one liter per week. Buying larger quantities lowers the cost per liter and shipping cost, but the oil must be consumed within 18 months. The 3L bottles suit families, while the 0.5L and 0.75L work well as gifts. See current prices.
International shipments
The Albanian diaspora in Italy, Germany, Greece, England and the USA orders regularly. Deliveries are made through international partners. For countries outside the European Union, buyer-responsible customs fees may apply. Write to us for costs and deadlines for your country.
