Olive Oil Price in Pakistan

Updated 4 min read

On this page

Short answer: olive oil prices in Pakistan depend above all on the grade. Extra virgin is the most expensive; “pure”, “light” and pomace olive oils cost much less because they are refined. After the grade come bottle size, brand, and whether the oil is local or imported. Here is what Zuriyat extra virgin olive oil costs today, read straight from our shop:

Why olive oil prices vary so much

1. The grade matters most

Two bottles that both say “olive oil” can be completely different products:

  • Extra virgin: the first extraction of fresh olives, mechanically, with no refining. It keeps its flavour and natural antioxidants, and it costs the most to make.
  • “Pure”, “light” or plain “olive oil”: mostly refined olive oil with a little virgin oil added. It is cheaper and neutral in taste, with few antioxidants.
  • Pomace olive oil: extracted with solvents from the paste left after pressing, then refined. It is the cheapest olive oil in Pakistani shops and is often sold for cooking or massage.

When you compare prices, compare within the same grade. See cold-pressed vs regular olive oil for how they are made.

2. Bottle size

Small bottles always cost more per millilitre. A 250 ml bottle is a good way to try an oil. A litre is better value once you know you like it. An open bottle is best finished within three to four months, so buy the size you’ll use in that time.

3. Local or imported

Imported oils carry shipping, import duty and distributor margins. Oil pressed in Pakistan from Pakistani olives avoids most of those costs, and it reaches the shelf fresher.

4. Freshness and packaging

Dark glass bottles cost more than clear plastic, but they protect the oil from light, which is what keeps it tasting fresh.

When a low price is a warning

A bottle labelled extra virgin that costs about the same as ordinary cooking oil is almost certainly refined, blended or old. Check the grade, look for a date and a named producer, and taste it: real extra virgin is fresh, a little bitter and peppery in the throat. Everything is explained in how to tell if olive oil is real.

Is extra virgin worth the price?

If you use olive oil for its flavour or its health benefits, yes. Those come from the antioxidants that only extra virgin keeps. If you only need a neutral oil for very hot, large-batch frying, a cheaper refined oil does that job. A practical middle way is to use extra virgin for everyday cooking at medium heat and for finishing dishes. See how to cook with extra virgin olive oil.

Frequently asked questions

What is the price of olive oil in Pakistan?

It depends mainly on the grade and bottle size. Pomace and “pure” olive oils are the cheapest, and extra virgin is the most expensive. Zuriyat’s current extra virgin prices, per bottle and per 100 ml, are in the table above.

Why is extra virgin olive oil so expensive?

It uses only fresh, sound olives, extracted mechanically and quickly, with nothing blended in and no refining to rescue a poor batch. Refined oils can be made from lower-grade fruit or leftovers, at scale.

Which bottle size is the best value?

The largest bottle is usually the cheapest per 100 ml. Check the last column of the table, and choose a size you will finish within three to four months of opening.

Is Pakistani olive oil cheaper than imported?

It often is, because it avoids import costs, and it is fresher when it reaches you. Compare the grade and the price per 100 ml rather than the country alone.
