When considering Iranian olive oil imports in bulk, wholesale buyers, distributors, and food service providers often have recurring questions about quality, documentation, pricing, and logistics. To help you navigate the process, we’ve compiled a comprehensive FAQ guide covering everything you need to know before placing your first order.

1. What makes Iranian olive oil unique compared to other origins?

Iran’s Mediterranean-like climate and fertile soil produce olive oil with rich flavor, balanced acidity, and high nutritional value. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, Iranian olive oil is often less industrialized and more artisanal, ensuring purity and authenticity.

2. What types of Iranian olive oil are available for bulk buyers?

The main categories are:

•    Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Cold-pressed, premium quality for retail and gourmet use.

•    Virgin Olive Oil – Slightly lower acidity, ideal for both household and food service.

•    Refined Olive Oil – Neutral flavor, cost-effective for large-scale food production.

•    Olive Pomace Oil – Affordable, commonly used in catering and industrial cooking.

3. What certifications are required for importing Iranian olive oil?

Most international buyers require:

•    ISO 22000 / HACCP – Food safety compliance

•    Organic Certification (for Europe/North America retail)

•    Halal Certification (for Middle East markets)

•    Phytosanitary & Health Certificates (for customs clearance)

Tamila Agrifood ensures full documentation and traceability with every shipment.

4. What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for bulk supply?

MOQ generally starts at one full container load (FCL), which can be shipped in bulk flexi-tanks, IBC containers, or packaged in bottles/cans based on buyer preference. However, smaller trial orders may also be arranged for new buyers.

5. How is bulk Iranian olive oil packaged for export?

Packaging options include:

•    Flexi-tanks (20–24 MT per container) for bulk liquid shipments

•    Drums or IBC containers for industrial buyers

•    5L / 20L cans for food service distributors

•    Private-label bottles (250ml, 500ml, 750ml) for retail brands

6. What is the shelf life of Iranian olive oil?

With proper storage in a cool, dark place, Iranian olive oil has a shelf life of 18–24 months. Extra virgin varieties retain freshness and flavor best when stored under controlled conditions.

7. How competitive is Iranian olive oil pricing?

Compared to Mediterranean suppliers (Spain, Italy, Greece), Iranian olive oil offers a price advantage while maintaining premium quality standards. This makes it especially attractive for emerging markets in Africa and Asia, as well as wholesalers seeking to reduce procurement costs.

8. What logistics and shipping options are available?

Tamila Agrifood provides:

•    Sea freight in flexi-tanks or drums (most common for bulk orders)

•    Air freight (for urgent small-volume shipments)

•    Assistance with customs clearance in EU, Middle East, and Africa

•    Door-to-port or door-to-door delivery solutions

9. Can Iranian olive oil be exported with private labeling?

Yes. We offer OEM/private label solutions where buyers can customize bottles, cans, and packaging with their brand identity. This is popular among supermarket chains and distributors.
