About products and suppliers

With the recent rise in consciousness to source healthier ingredients and implement sustainable lifestyles among customers, demand for raw materials associated with health and sustainability is seeing a steady rise in demand. An example of such raw material is olive oil, which, for a long time, was seen as a "premium" staple in kitchens and beauty products. Users regularly purchase olive oil for skin care for the body and also olive oil for the face which has a gentler formulation to avoid damaging sensitive skin on the face. Internet users also routinely post questions such as "Is olive oil better than vegetable oil?" and "Can I use olive oil as lube?" indicating that they are interested in using olive oil outside of cooking and skin care. Thankfully, suppliers are slowly but surely rising up to meet demand. Olive oil is not as expensive as when the trend started and then peaked. The consistent demand, however, makes it attractive to participate in the olive oil market by selling or supplying olive oil itself. Clients can also take advantage of the demand by supplying olive oil storage containers such as olive oil cans, olive oil canisters, and olive oil containers, among others.

What is an olive oil can?

An olive oil can is a container used to store olive oil for intermediate or long-term periods. These containers, like the stainless steel olive oil can, are made of different alloys of metals such as steel and aluminum. They feature a form factor that makes it easy for establishments such as hotels and restaurants to store them efficiently in a very cramped space. These containers are also robust enough to be stacked up several levels, further encouraging more efficient use of available space.

Other examples of olive oil cans and containers

Olive oil can also be stored for short-term or immediate use. Containers used for this application are small and can usually be handled by one hand and stored in a cupboard or on top of a dining table. Examples are ceramic olive oil cruets and brass olive oil dispensers.
