Variety of Presentations
We package it in cans, jugs, and bottles. For example, the cans are ideal for preserving the oil, as they prevent light penetration and isolate it well from heat. The jugs are made of hard plastic, lightweight, and manageable, but should be kept in a dark, cool place.
For cans and jugs with a capacity of over 2 liters, it is advisable to transfer the oil to glass oil dispensers. This way, we can avoid opening the containers too often, preventing new oxygen from entering and affecting the oil. The bottles are made of dark glass to protect against light and feature an elegant design. They are in high demand by restaurants with EVOO.
