Meet the Buyer x Blue Olive
Our Meet the Buyer sessions are designed to connect passionate food entrepreneurs with potential customers, buyers, and/or category managers. Monthly, we invite buyers from all different categories of the food scene, like supermarkets, online retailers, hotel chains, wholesale, restaurant owners, etc. These sessions offer exclusive sales opportunities, feedback, and/or professional connections that you won’t get anywhere else. In this session, we welcome Blue Olive!
About Blue Olive
Blue Olive is the fresh new food wholesaler with a focus on delicatessen and specialty shops. The company was founded in 2023, so now their team is working on putting together a range of unique products, with an interesting story behind them. Rather than focusing on a big product portfolio, Blue Olive wants to expand together with the producers they work with. These collaborations can for example also include the development of new products for key accounts, in order to ensure rotation. As Blue Olive is a new player on the Dutch market, please note that they are currently also working on their customer list, which will consist of chefs, specialty stores and delis in the Netherlands.
Requirements Blue Olive
– Blue Olive is looking to meet passionate producers that offer products with attractive packaging design, with high rotation. Please check their website for the look and feel of their current assortment.
– The products need to be shelf-ready, with a minimum shelf life of +/- 1 year.
