Olive oil in bulk: 3, 5 or 10 litres – which size is right for you?

05 November 2026

If you cook every day, you go through a lot of olive oil. A larger container of 3, 5 or 10 litres is the practical choice. The bag-in-box sizes (3 and 10 litres) also protect the oil from light and oxygen. Here is who each size suits and what to look for when you buy.

How much does bulk olive oil cost?

Our organic extra virgin olive oil from the Arbequina olive costs CHF 1.60 per 100 ml, whether you choose 3, 5 or 10 litres. The sizes differ in the price of the container, not in the price per litre:

SizePricePrice per 100 ml
3 L bag-in-box, organicCHF 48CHF 1.60
5 L jerrycan, organicCHF 80CHF 1.60
10 L bag-in-box, organicCHF 160CHF 1.60

Our 0.5-litre bottles of single-variety oils have a different job: tasting, gifting, and dishes where the oil is the star. The bulk size is the everyday cooking oil.

Which size is right for you?

  • 3 litres: for households that cook regularly and want to try the format first.
  • 5 litres: for families with high consumption.
  • 10 litres: for restaurants, caterers, grocery shops and large households. For professionals we offer a tailored quote on request: contact@latelierdessaisons.ch.

Why bag-in-box?

Light and oxygen are olive oil’s biggest enemies. The points below apply to our bag-in-box sizes (3 and 10 litres). The bag inside the carton, with its drip-free tap, lets no air in as you pour, so the oil stays fresh longer than in an opened bottle. It also means less glass and plastic.

What is in it?

The oil comes from the Cooperativa la Granadella in Catalonia (Spain). It is 100% organic extra virgin olive oil from the Arbequina variety, 2025/2026 harvest, extracted only by mechanical cold methods. It has an intense ripe fruitiness with a balanced bitterness and pungency, with notes of fresh grass, tomato, banana and sweet almond. It suits vegetables, meat, pasta and fish, and gentle cooking up to 180°C.

How to store it

  • Keep it cool and away from light, and keep the carton away from the stove or radiator.
  • Bag-in-box: close the tap after use. Jerrycan (5 litres): close it tightly after each use.
  • The best-before date is printed on the container (for the current harvest: end of December 2027).
