Oliera in Vetro: Artisan Pouring Jug of Half Litre
For those who cook and serve with passion every day, this Oliera in Vetro of 500 ml offers the ideal balance between generous content and refined aesthetics. This glass pouring jug brings the rustic atmosphere of an authentic Italian kitchen directly to your countertop and dining table.
The generous volume of half a litre makes this jar extremely practical: a complete bottle of our Ravece or Extra Virgin olive oil fits perfectly in it. The flowing, organic design ensures that the bottle, despite its size, feels very comfortable in the hand. The clear glass beautifully showcases the gold-green hues of the olive oil.
The neck is specifically designed to pour both a generous stream for the pan and a controlled thin stream for plating. The robust, tapered natural cork seals the jar hermetically to protect the oil's ethereal qualities.
Functional Anatomy & Quality
Large volumes require high-quality material properties to optimally safeguard the quality of the olive oil:
Inert Sodium-lime glass: Provides a barrier that excludes reactions with the lipophilic fatty acids in the oil.
Natural Cork Compression: The elastic properties of Quercus suber ensure an airtight seal that slows down oxidation.
Optimal Pouring Rigidity: Balance between weight and ergonomics for daily cooking comfort.
Elegant Presentation & Usage Tips
Eye-catcher on the Counter: Keep your favourite olive oil always at hand while cooking in a stylish package.
Table Presentation at Large Gatherings: Ideal during elaborate dinners and barbecue evenings where generous dosing is central.
Making Your Own Infusions: Perfectly suitable for making larger quantities of garlic, rosemary, or chili oil due to the ample capacity.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why choose a 500 ml jar instead of 250 ml?
The 500 ml model is ideal if you frequently use olive oil in daily meal preparation. Moreover, you can fully pour a standard bottle of olive oil (50 cl) into it at once, so you won't be left with half-empty containers.
How can I best clean the 500 ml oil bottle?
First, rinse the bottle thoroughly with warm water to loosen any grease residues. Then wash the glass bottle with a mild dishwashing detergent (dishwasher safe). Ensure that the glass is 100% dry before pouring in new oil to prevent cloudiness from moisture. Clean the cork with a damp cloth.
Is the cork resistant to frequent opening?
Yes, high-quality natural cork has a natural elasticity that retains its shape and sealing power even with daily use.

The anatomy of the Oliera in Vetro:
This oliera (oil jug) has been designed in accordance with the principles of functional aesthetics within Mediterranean food culture. The use of inert sodium-calcium glass ensures that no chemical interaction or migration occurs between the container and the lipophilic acids in the olive oil, unlike with certain polymers (plastics). The tapered natural cork (Quercus suber) provides superior elastic compression, resulting in an airtight seal that minimises exposure to atmospheric oxygen ($O_2$) and thus slows down the formation of hydroperoxides (rancidity) in extra virgin olive oil.
