About us

Most olive oil is not what it seems.

Blended. Refined. Old. Without harvest date. Without laboratory data. With an "extra virgin" sticker that guarantees nothing.

Olijfoliemarkt.nl exists because we wanted to do things differently.

We travel to the source — to olive groves in Spain, Italy, Greece, and Turkey — and only bring back oil that we have tasted, evaluated, and substantiated with HPLC laboratory reports. No intermediaries. No guesswork. Only demonstrable quality.


What makes us different

Most olive oil specialists rely on taste and certificates. So do we — but we don't stop there. Every product we carry has an HPLC analysis: a certified laboratory report that proves the exact polyphenol content, acidity, and harvest date. That report is on our product page. Not hidden away in a drawer.

Polyphenols are the bioactive compounds that make olive oil healthy. The EU officially recognizes this through Regulation 432/2012: oil with more than 250 mg/kg of polyphenols may bear a health claim. We only sell oil that far exceeds this limit — and we show it to you.

Trusted by professionals worldwide

Olijfoliemarkt.nl not only supplies home cooks and health-conscious families. We are a supplier for delicatessens, Michelin-starred restaurants, and corporate gifting programs in the Netherlands — and export premium EVOO to demanding markets in Asia, including Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong. The fact that the world's most critical buyers choose our selection says more than any certificate.
