There’s a moment we love to picture here at the mill. It’s the instant the courier rings your doorbell, hands you a package, and you begin to open it.
When you slice through the tape and lift the cardboard flaps, it’s not just the anticipation of something you’ve purchased. It’s the final step in a long, meticulous journey. You often ask us: “Will the ceramic jar arrive in one piece?” “Will the oil suffer in the heat during transport?” These are fair concerns. Extra virgin olive oil is a living, precious, and delicate product. And our ceramic jars, shaped and hand-painted by master artisans from Puglia, are true works of art—objects that deserve care and respect.
Today, we’d like to take you behind the scenes of our logistics. Because for us at Frantoio Muraglia, quality doesn’t end with bottling. It ends only when the scent of freshly cut grass fills your kitchen.
You already know—we’re stubborn in the best possible way. The same determination we apply to pressing our olives guides us in choosing the right box. Shipping olive oil—especially in handcrafted ceramic containers—is a challenge that leaves no room for improvisation.
We spent a long time perfecting our packaging. It’s not just wrapping; it’s an engineered protection system designed to absorb impact. Picture every bottle and every ceramic jar encased in a custom-designed protective shell, built specifically around its shape.
We use certified packaging systems that keep each product secure and suspended away from the outer walls of the box. So even if the package experiences bumps along the way—and we know that can happen—the energy of the impact is absorbed by the cardboard structure before it ever reaches the ceramic or glass.
The ceramic jar is a symbol of our philosophy: excellence within beauty. But beauty is often fragile—or at least it seems that way.
Our jars are crafted by Puglian artisans and fired at high temperatures, making them solid and durable. Still, during shipping they require thoughtful care. That’s why each one travels inside a custom-fitted housing.
We don’t rely on random fillers. Every element inside the package has a structural purpose. This allows us to make an important promise: the risk of breakage is reduced to an absolute minimum. And in the very rare event that the unexpected happens? We’re here. No endless automated call centers. Just a real team ready to resolve the issue—because your peace of mind is part of the experience.
If breakage is the visible risk, light and heat are the invisible ones. Extra virgin olive oil fears oxidation above all else.
This is where the wisdom of the container comes into play. Whether you choose our dark glass bottle or our iconic ceramic jar, you’ve already made the best decision for proper storage. Ceramic, in particular, is a natural thermal insulator and completely shields the oil from light.
During transit, our packaging serves a dual purpose: protecting against impact and adding an extra thermal barrier. This helps maintain the most stable temperature possible until it reaches you. Once at home, the advice is simple: keep your green gold away from heat sources and direct sunlight. It will reward you with a vibrant, lasting symphony of flavor.
We know that when you order our olive oil—perhaps for a special dinner or as a gift—you don’t want to wait weeks. Our logistics are designed to be fast and efficient.
The moment your order arrives, our team gets to work. We’re not an anonymous warehouse run by robots. We’re people who check every label and every seal before handing the package to the courier.
This process is part of our idea of hospitality. Even from afar, we want opening the box to feel like a warm welcome to Puglia. Everything will be neat, clean, and carefully arranged. Because disorder and carelessness simply don’t belong to our culture.
Buying olive oil online can feel risky if you’ve never done it before. “What if it arrives broken?” “What if it’s not like the one I tasted at the mill?” We want to reassure you.
Our oil is an elixir of life, born from a year of dedicated agricultural work and passion. We would never allow the final mile to undo that effort.
So next time you fill your cart with a supply of Fruttato Intenso or that bold, headstrong Coratina, do it with confidence. The only thing you’ll need to worry about is having some warm, crusty bread ready when the courier rings your doorbell.
Are you ready to let flavor travel your way?
