Packaging and Sustainability: Glass, Tin, Refill

Why Packaging Matters

Light, heat and oxygen shape how olive oil ages. The right container limits these factors and helps preserve flavor.

Glass Bottles

Dark glass reduces light exposure and supports aromatic integrity. It is convenient for daily use and widely recyclable. Keep the cap tight and store away from sunlight.

Tin Cans

Tin naturally blocks light and suits larger volumes. In cool, stable conditions it slows aging. Decanting into smaller, daily bottles keeps freshness longer.

Refill Practices

Quality EVOO bottles have ss balls at the pour spout to eleimate oxygen infiltration of the EVOO. As a result these bottles cannot be refilled and and must be recycled.

Takeaway

Protected from light, kept cool and minimally exposed to air, your oil stays closer to its harvest-day vibrancy.
