Do you carry vacuum-packed black olives?
Yes — Zer Black Olives from Zer Group come vacuum-packed in three case sizes: 170 g packs (case of 48), 400 g packs (case of 24), and 800 g packs (case of 12). All three are first-class black table olives from Aegean groves, vacuum-sealed rather than packed in a brine tin or jar.
This page covers the three vacuum sizes, why a buyer picks vacuum over tinned or jarred, and how vacuum-packed black olives fit into a mixed olive inquiry.
The three vacuum sizes
| Pack size | Case pack | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| 170 g | Case of 48 | Retail grab-and-go, breakfast programs, small-format stores |
| 400 g | Case of 24 | Household-size retail, mid-volume kitchens |
| 800 g | Case of 12 | Larger households, delis, higher-volume kitchen use |
Why vacuum-pack instead of tin or jar
Vacuum packs suit single-purpose portions with no brine to manage front-of-house — no opened jar to reseal, no tin to decant, just a sealed pack that's either finished or refrigerated whole. That makes the smaller 170 g size a natural retail impulse item at the register or in a lunch program, where a customer wants a self-contained portion rather than a jar they'll only partly use.
For a working kitchen that draws from a shared container across a full service instead, a tinned format like Zer Light Black Olives is usually the more practical choice — see olives in tins wholesale for that side of the range. Vacuum and tin aren't competing options so much as suited to different points in the same operation.
Positioning vacuum packs at retail
A vacuum-sealed pack does a fair amount of the merchandising on its own — the olives are visible through clear film, there's no brine to leak or spill on a shelf, and the pack sits happily at room temperature until it's bought, rather than needing a refrigerated case the way a brined jar or tin technically doesn't need but a retailer sometimes chills anyway for turnover appeal. That combination makes the 170 g and 400 g sizes an easy addition next to other grab-and-go Levantine snacks, rather than requiring a dedicated olive bar or deli counter.
It's also a format that photographs and displays cleanly for an online storefront or a wholesale catalogue listing of your own, since there's no jar glare or brine cloudiness to manage in a product photo — one more reason vacuum-pack has become the default for retailers reselling olives as a packaged grocery item rather than serving them from a shared container.
Ordering vacuum-packed olives
Vacuum-packed black olives combine on the same inquiry as any other olive format — sliced, whole or tinned — from the olives and pickles range. State the pack size and case count you want, and a single written quotation covers the whole order, typically within a business day.

Related questions
How long do vacuum-packed olives keep before opening?
Vacuum-sealed packs are a shelf-stable format designed for extended unopened storage; once opened, treat them like any olive product — refrigerate and use within a reasonable window.
Which vacuum size suits retail versus foodservice?
The 170 g pack is the natural retail and grab-and-go size; the 400 g and 800 g packs suit larger households or a kitchen that wants a self-contained portion without brine handling.
Can I mix vacuum packs with tinned or jarred olives on one order?
Yes — mixed olive-format inquiries are the norm, combining vacuum, tin and jar formats into one quotation and delivery.
Do vacuum packs need refrigeration on a retail shelf?
Not necessarily before opening — the vacuum seal is what keeps the product stable at room temperature. Some retailers still chill the display case for turnover appeal, but it isn't a food-safety requirement for an unopened pack.
