Shipping Olive Oil from Turkey to Syria, Jordan, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia: Cost and Time

What matters when shipping Turkish olive oil

Olive oil is heavy, so the parcel is charged on actual weight, and a litre weighs close to a kilogram with its pack, so buying large quantities can raise shipping more than the price saving; tins are lighter and safer than glass, so price the quantity in the calculator before buying.

Packs, leaks and quality

Order products in their original sealed factory packs, clearly labelled with ingredients and expiry date, with enough shelf life after arrival. Every country has rules on importing food, even for personal use, so ask about the allowed quantity before buying. Oil is best in tightly sealed tins with an extra bag against leaks, kept away from heat.

Extra virgin and cold pressed

Extra virgin olive oil has low acidity and suits salad and serving, while ordinary oil is for cooking and frying. Open the label to see the pressing date, country of origin and acidity level, and prefer the dark pack that shields it from light.

Tin or bottle

Metal tins protect the oil from light and breakage but are heavy, while dark bottles are lighter but need double wrapping. For the Gulf a medium size is better than one large tin because the oil oxidises with time after opening.

Shipping date and heat

The oil’s taste changes in high heat, so ask when the shipment leaves and do not leave it in a hot warehouse. Make sure the tin arrives with an unopened sealed cap.
