The olive oil bottle: The best container to preserve it

ACEITE DE OLIVA PREMIUM

There is no doubt that olive oil is a delicacy. Therefore it would be a pity to lose its qualities by not keeping it in a good place or not using the right packaging. For this reason, at AOVE Águra we take care of every detail so that you can enjoy our oil. Our packaging par excellence is the olive oil bottle and we will tell you why.

Why is the container so important to preserve the oil?

Olive oil must be protected from external factors. As time passes and exposure to these factors increases, the product begins to lose its properties and even increase its oxidation or rancidification process.

The elements that most influence this phenomenon on the oil are:

  • Therefore it is advisable to keep it in opaque containers and if this is not the case keep them in dark places.
  • It is necessary to avoid that the olive oil is in contact with the air the minimum time possible.
  • Any container with olive oil must remain outside of any heat source. For example, we should not keep it near the kitchen fire, or sun.
  • It should not touch any type of metal as it would increase the oxidation of the olive oil. This is because, for example, iron and copper act as catalysts.

The glass of the olive oil bottle protects the oil from these four elements. Use a dark glass bottle with a hermetic seal that does not contain any metal to avoid contact with air and place it in a cool place. We will preserve our olive oil perfectly!

What types of oil containers can we find on the market?

If we go to any supermarket in the oils section we can find glass bottles, oil cans and plastic bottles.

Plastic containers.

They are usually the containers where you can find the cheapest oil. But this package is the one that needs more care for the correct preservation of the oil. This package is the least protective against light and air. It is necessary to make sure that the light does not hit the plastic bottles directly, for example, by storing it in cardboard boxes. It should also be ensured that they are kept in a cool place.

Furthermore, this type of packaging is not eco-friendly.

Tin containers.

Its biggest drawback is that the consumer cannot see the colour of the oil. Although the quality of the olive oil is not always associated with the colour, it is normal for the consumer to want to see it. On the other hand, another disadvantage we find is that this type of packaging is usually used for large quantities of oil. Therefore, unless a lot of oil is consumed, time can cause it to lose its essence.

Glass containers.

A dark glass allows us to protect the olive oil from any exposure to light. In addition, the glass preserves all the properties of the product and can be recycled as many times as necessary. In this way we contribute in a very positive way to our environment. Glass allows us to use different container sizes.
