Category first, evidence alongside it
The International Olive Council definitions distinguish extra virgin and virgin oil through chemical and sensory criteria. Free acidity is one criterion among several. The category stated on a proposed offer should be assessed against the documentation relevant to that oil and your market.
Avoid treating a photograph, colour, a general quality statement or an unrelated certificate as proof about a specific lot. Ask which information can be provided, how the lot is identified and how the analysis or assessment relates to the proposed supply.
Define the information your process requires
A buyer may request a specification sheet, analysis information, sensory assessment, lot identification and origin details. The applicable set depends on the use, destination and purchasing process. Submit these requirements with your enquiry instead of introducing them after an order has been agreed.
No company certification, laboratory status or batch analysis is claimed on this website. If your business requires a particular certification or test, explain its purpose and ask for confirmation of the relevant evidence and its scope.
Keep traceability connected to the shipment
The commercial description, packaging identification and shipment documents should refer consistently to the agreed product. Discuss how lot references will be recorded, what documents will accompany the goods and how your receiving team will reconcile them.
Storage and handling also belong in the quality conversation. Review protection from unsuitable heat, light and contamination along the agreed route. For a proposed purchase from Tunisian Olive, document the acceptance criteria, supporting information and any evaluation steps before confirming the commercial agreement.
