A website for one olive oil and its harvest
On a shelf, extra virgin olive oils look much alike: a dark bottle, a label, a price. What sets yours apart is written in small print — the variety, the harvest, the mill, how soon the olives were pressed after picking — and small print is easy to skip.
This page puts one oil on the whole screen. The bottle or tin is a 3D model, close enough to read its label, and your words carry the rest: the grove, the variety, when you harvest, who presses it.
Varieties, blends or harvests are its versions, five at most, described a line apiece. The button opens a Stripe payment link or your shop, and the order card has room for the format, the harvest and how it travels.
What your site shows
The oil and its price
The opening screen names the oil and what it is — extra virgin, a single variety, early harvest — under your headline, with the format beside the price and the button.
The grove and the mill
Your statement comes next, two lines long, with a paragraph beneath it: where the trees grow, when the olives are picked, how quickly they reach the mill and who runs it. It’s where a bottle becomes an oil from somewhere.
The label, read closely
Chapter one stays close to the bottle, reading the label, the cap and the print on the tin wherever your model has them; your title and a text sit beside it.
Varieties and harvests
Chapter three holds up to five versions: arbequina, picual, hojiblanca, a blend, a late harvest. Each carries a colour, its name and a line on what sets it apart.
Format, harvest and delivery
The order card takes your lines — the format, the harvest year, how the bottles are packed, where you ship — and then the price and the button.
Have this ready
- What the oil is called, and a description that fits in 32 characters: “Extra virgin olive oil, picual”.
- The format — a 500 ml bottle, a 5 l tin — and its price.
- The versions, up to five — varieties, blends or harvests — with a name, a swatch colour and a line apiece.
- The bottle or tin as a .glb model of 25 MB or less, with the label’s artwork on it.
- A two-line statement and a paragraph about the grove, the harvest and the mill.
- The label’s mandatory information, for the page where people pay.
- A Stripe payment link, or the oil’s page in your shop.
Worth knowing
Use only the words the label may carry
EU marketing rules for olive oil reserve certain words: “cold extraction” only for extra virgin or virgin oil extracted below 27 °C, a harvest year only when the whole container comes from that harvest, taste descriptions only when an official panel test backs them (Regulation (EU) 2022/2104). Keep the page to what your label may say.
Make the label readable before the sale
For food sold at a distance, EU rules want the mandatory information — everything on the label except the best-before date — available before the purchase is made (Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, article 14). The order card is short, so let the button lead to a page that carries all of it.
Colour in the swatch, the rest in the line
The swatch can show an oil’s colour, but colour says little about quality: official tasting panels drink from dark blue glasses so that it can’t sway them, as the International Olive Council’s standard sets out. Spend each version’s line on what the colour can’t tell — the variety, the harvest, the mill.
Questions
- We also run visits and tastings at the mill. Is this the right kit?
- This one sells the oil. A visit to the grove or the mill is a place, and Promti’s Forest kit, made from your own photos, is built for places. The two sites can link to each other.
- Can people order several bottles at once?
- Yes: when you create the payment link, Stripe can let the buyer change the quantity, between a minimum and a maximum you set. Say on the order card how the bottles travel and whether shipping changes with the number.
- Can we say it’s good for your health?
- Only in the words the EU has authorised. For olive oil there is one claim, that its polyphenols help protect blood lipids from oxidative stress, allowed only for oils with at least 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives per 20 g, and only if the buyer is told the effect comes with 20 g a day (Regulation (EU) No 432/2012). Without a lab analysis that meets it, leave health off the page.
- Do restaurants and shops see a different price?
- The page shows one public price. Trade buyers need their own terms: add a line on the order card asking them to write to you, and keep the page for people buying for their own kitchen.
