Buying wholesale
Can I buy olive oil in small bottles wholesale, for gifting or retail?
Yes — Olive Oil, Premium Virgin from Lio Food in Latakia, Syria, comes in 250 ml glass bottles, packed 12 to a case, alongside 500 ml and 750 ml sizes in the same range. The 250 ml bottle is the small-format option built for exactly this use — retail counter sales, gift baskets and corporate sets — where a sealed, presentable bottle matters as much as the oil inside it.
This page covers the three glass sizes, why 250 ml specifically works well for gifting and retail rather than kitchen finishing volume, and how to order it by the case.
The three glass sizes
| Size | Case pack | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| 250 ml | Case of 12 | Retail counters, gift sets, corporate baskets |
| 500 ml | Case of 12 | Household retail, small kitchen finishing use |
| 750 ml | Case of 12 | Larger retail bottle, standard kitchen finishing volume |
Why 250 ml suits gifting and retail specifically
A small, sealed bottle presents well on its own beside a register — grocers and shawarma shops have long used this size to turn a pantry item into shelf revenue, since customers who taste the oil in a dish are natural buyers of a bottle to take home. Sealed glass also means the bottle stores and displays indefinitely without the freshness clock that starts once a larger finishing bottle is opened; see Levantine olive oil by the case for restaurants for that finishing-oil framing in more depth.
For corporate gifting or a hospitality amenity program, the 250 ml size also travels and packs well into a boxed set alongside sweets, coffee or soap — the same small-format logic that makes compact soap bars work as wedding favours applies here: a single-serving, presentable format that doesn't need repackaging to look considered.
Ordering by the case
Build the size and case count you want into an inquiry, and a written quotation follows, typically within a business day. Many retail and gifting buyers mix the 250 ml case with soap, sweets or coffee from the wider catalogue on the same order to build a fuller gift or shelf assortment in one delivery.

Related questions
What's the smallest olive oil bottle you sell wholesale?
250 ml, packed 12 bottles to a case — the smallest and most gift- and retail-oriented size in the Lio range.
Is 250 ml practical for kitchen use, or only for gifting?
It works for both — a finishing station uses it the same way it would a larger bottle, just with more frequent bottle changes. Retail and gifting buyers are the more common audience for this specific size.
Can I mix 250 ml oil with soap or sweets on a gift-set order?
Yes — mixed inquiries combining oil, soap, sweets and coffee into one gifting or retail order are common and consolidate onto a single delivery.
Does the 250 ml bottle come in different oil grades?
It's the same Premium Virgin olive oil across all three glass sizes — 250 ml, 500 ml and 750 ml — so grade doesn't change with bottle size, only the volume does.
