For more than 20 years, De Olijfolie Shop has specialised in directly importing outstanding extra virgin olive oil from renowned producers in Spain, Italy, Greece and France. We personally select, taste and import our oils, supplying consumers, restaurants, retailers and wholesalers.

My fascination with olive oil began long before we had an online shop. Travelling around the Mediterranean, I visited farmers and producers and brought as much olive oil home as I could. First for myself, then for friends, family and acquaintances.

In 2005, I decided to turn that passion into a business and launched a small online shop with just three extra virgin olive oils. Those original oils are still part of our range and remain among our bestsellers.

In 2011, we introduced our selection to the hospitality industry. It grew quickly. Today we supply many restaurants, including establishments that hold or have held Michelin stars. We also supply specialist retailers, delicatessens and wholesalers.

Today, De Olijfolie Shop is much more than an online store. We are an importer, wholesaler, supplier to restaurants and corporate gift specialist — while remaining a dedicated online shop for everyone who enjoys excellent olive oil at home.

Among other things, we are the exclusive importer of Almazaras de la Subbética in the Netherlands, are SKAL-certified and work directly with producers recognised among the finest in the olive oil world. This means we know not only the products but also the people and stories behind them.

Great olive oil becomes even more interesting when you understand why it tastes the way it does. That is why we share our knowledge of olive varieties, production, quality, polyphenols, harvesting, storage and cooking in the Olive Oil Academy. The articles are currently in Dutch.
