Albanian Olive Oil for the Diaspora: Delivery to Italy, Germany, Greece and the UK
Contents
On the shelves in Milan, Stuttgart and London you will find dozens of olive oils. None of them tastes like the one you remember from the family table. That is why suitcases coming back from Albania always weigh more than they should.
An alternative to the suitcase
Direct delivery solves three problems at once: you are not limited by the baggage allowance, you don’t risk broken bottles among your clothes, and you don’t have to wait for the summer holidays. We ship worldwide through international partners, usually with final delivery by your country’s local postal service.
The countries with the highest demand
- Italy: the shortest and most familiar route for us, after exporting more than 2,200 tonnes in 2023–2024
- Germany and Switzerland: high demand for certified organic products
- Greece: despite local production, Albanian families want the oil from home
- United Kingdom: larger orders to spread the shipping costs
- USA and Canada: less frequent shipments, in larger quantities
Packaging for long distances
Dark glass protects the quality, but it needs mechanical protection. For shipments abroad we use cushioning materials and reinforced cardboard. For larger quantities, tins are practical because they weigh less and don’t break, while still protecting the oil completely from light.
Costs, customs and timing
Within the European Union the procedures are simpler. For countries outside the EU, customs duties or import VAT may apply and are paid by the buyer. Delivery times depend on the destination and on customs processing.

A gift that carries its origin
The 0.5 L and 0.75 L bottles work well as gifts for a colleague, a neighbour or a business partner abroad. For packaging ideas, see our article on gift packages.
