Olive oil has traditionally been transported in bulk using large, permanent ISO tanks or drums.
Traditional Methods of Olive Oil Transportation
Historically, moving olive oil from its source to consumers required robust and reliable methods. The primary method involved:
- ISO Tanks: These large, permanent tanks are designed for shipping liquids in bulk. They provide a secure and efficient way to transport significant volumes of olive oil, maintaining its quality and integrity during transit.
- Drums: Smaller than ISO tanks, drums were also used for bulk transport. They are more manageable for smaller quantities and easier to handle at different stages of the supply chain.
These methods ensure that the precious "liquid gold" maintains its quality from grove to table, showcasing the traditions involved in its transport.
