Wholesale olives in buckets

A range of table olives designed for resale

Since 1984, Palimex has supplied food professionals with table olives bought in bulk. Our olive buckets range brings together the varieties that fill tapas bars, fine food counters and self-service displays: from Greek classics (kalamata, volos, Greek style) to French ones (lucques, nyons, coquillos), along with prepared olives (pitted green, almond stuffed, kemia, sliced purple) and Mediterranean varieties (boufarik, Peruvian purple).

This diversity lets every professional build an assortment that matches their clientele, without multiplying suppliers. Batches are calibrated for controlled stock rotation, in a bucket pack designed for portioning and display.

The bucket, a pack format suited to foodservice

The bucket is the reference format for establishments that serve or sell olives by weight or from the counter. Easy to store, open and reseal, it preserves the brine quality of the product while making handling simple in both kitchen and shop.

For bulk buyers, the bucket offers three concrete advantages:

• Adapted volume to the 5 kg minimum pack and pallet orders: simple warehousing and readable stock management.
• Consistent calibres from one batch to the next: a homogeneous counter display, a guarantee of trust for the end customer.
• Readable BBD and batch traceability, essential to the HACCP procedures of foodservice and retail establishments.

Packed in brine, the olives keep their texture and flavour over time, in line with the conservation requirements specific to each variety. To go further on quality frameworks and official origin identification schemes, you can consult the references of the International Olive Council.

Which trade, which olives?

The choice of an olive depends as much on the trade as on taste. This table summarises the most common uses of our range, to help you build your order according to your activity.

These recommendations are indicative: most of our clients blend several varieties to balance a counter or a menu. Our team helps you size your order to your restocking frequency.

Sourcing, batches and BBD: our B2B know-how

Buying olives in bulk to resell or serve assumes total confidence in batch regularity. Palimex has worked for four decades with a stable sourcing base: we select varieties and calibres capable of holding consistent quality from one delivery to the next, so your customers find the same product every time.

We take pride in supplying professionals with calibrated, regular and fully traced olive buckets: it is this regularity that makes the difference on a counter or on a table, day after day.

Each delivered batch comes with the information useful to your quality management:

• Calibre and variety identified on the pack.
• BBD and batch number readable for your HACCP controls.
• Pack in a bucket designed for rotation and brine conservation.

Our wholesale olive buckets are reserved for professionals with a registered business number — restaurateurs, caterers, fine food retailers, greengrocers, loose-counter managers. Ordering is done by batch, with B2B-adapted delivery.

Building your bulk olive order

To place an order or request a trade price, several criteria guide the composition of your assortment. Here are the points to weigh in order to optimise your rotation and your margin:

• The variety mix: balance Greek classics (kalamata, volos) and specialties (stuffed, kemia, lucques) according to your clientele.
• The restocking pace: adjust bucket quantities to your rotation to limit overstock.
• The calibre: favour regularity for a homogeneous counter display.
• Cross-uses: anticipate the recipes and dishes your olives will be served in (appetiser, cooking, tray).

Our teams know the foodservice, fine food and catering trades, and can advise on an assortment suited to your establishment. Request your wholesale price to discover our full range of olive buckets.
