We are looking for partners who share our vision: to bring customers an oil that is not just a product, but an authentic experience , linked to the territory, quality, and craftsmanship.

The main requirements are:

• Attention to originality and quality
  
  We work with limited and select lots: those who represent us must take the same care in promoting non-industrial, but artisanal and local products.
  
• Respect for the product
  
  Extra virgin olive oil requires expertise, proper storage, and the ability to communicate its value. Our partners must know how to protect its identity.
  
• Ability to inform and support the end customer
  
  Anyone who buys premium olive oil deserves to understand what they're choosing: sensory profiles, pressing method, polyphenols, and local origin. We seek partners capable of conveying this information clearly and honestly.
  
• Sensitivity to health, well-being and sustainability
  
  Our work begins with the land: balanced nutrition, sound agricultural practices, and minimal tillage. We value partners who share our vision of a good, responsible product.
  
• Valorization of craftsmanship and experiences
  
  Verde d'Arno is a project born to offer something more than a bottle: it was born to tell the story of a place, a culture, and a way of life.
  
  We are looking for retailers who can offer their customers an experience, not just “oil on the shelves”.
  

Simply put, we want to collaborate with companies that share our vision of quality, authenticity, and attention to detail, ensuring our customers enjoy a seamless experience from field to fork.

The official procedures relating to returns, damages and transport irregularities are described in our Terms and Conditions of Sale , to which we refer for all formal aspects.

That said, we strongly believe in building a relationship of trust and collaboration with our partners: for this reason, in the event of problems—whether logistical (breakages, losses, damage) or customs- related—we always try to intervene quickly through direct contact , so as to identify the most appropriate solution together.

At the same time, it is essential that the partner is aware of the regulations and procedures of their country , especially if they have previous experience: this allows them to prevent inconveniences and avoid delays or blockages at customs.

If necessary, we can directly engage our carrier to obtain further technical details or clarifications on shipping processes, thus supporting the partner in managing any issues.

We currently focus production on the 500 ml format, the version that best represents our positioning and which allows us to guarantee qualitative uniformity , sensorial continuity and a premium and recognisable product image.

The 500 ml format is currently the most popular among specialist retailers and foreign markets because it combines practicality , visual presence and enhancement of the contents , especially when working with limited edition and high-quality oils.

On request and for large batches , it is also possible to create 750 ml, 250 ml and 100 ml versions of the same bottle design, perfect for dedicated lines, gift boxes or special private label projects.

We currently do not offer bag-in-boxes or alternative formats: we prefer to focus on packaging that maximizes the sensory characteristics of the oil and reflects the identity of our project—a limited edition produced in small numbers, with particular attention to aesthetic details and protection of the product from light and oxygen.

This choice allows us to maintain rigorous control over quality , reduce variability between batches and offer our partners an oil consistent with our premium standard.

Yes, we are considering private label projects or custom collaborations.

To ensure product quality, traceability and availability, these initiatives must be planned a year in advance , in view of the next pressing campaign (October/November).

The conditions — which may include the supply of oil only or oil + customized bottle — are defined on a case-by-case basis , based on volumes, the target market and the partner's profile.

Each project is individually evaluated to ensure consistency with our quality standards and brand positioning.

We currently use a label designed to be as flexible as possible , with basic information in Italian and English , to ensure compliance and readability in the main international markets.

However, each country has specific regulations on the labeling of extra virgin olive oil (required language, mandatory wording, possible limitations), and it is important for the customer to be aware of these before purchasing , so that they can properly organize themselves for placing the product on their market.

We use a non-refillable cap for three reasons:

1. Regulatory compliance : In Italy, for consumption outside the home (restaurants, hotels, catering), the anti-refill cap is required by law.
   
2. Authenticity Guarantee : Prevents the bottle from being opened and refilled with inferior quality oils, protecting consumers and business partners.
   
3. Premium perception : in foreign markets it is a strong signal of quality and transparency — a high-end oil is always packaged with safety systems that guarantee the integrity of the product.
   

In short: it is a device that protects quality and strengthens the trust of the end customer.
