Glass oil jar with lid (250 ml)

Oil Bottle in Glass: Italian Design and Freshness at the Table

A premium olive oil like our Ravece or Extra Virgin deserves an elegant stage. This Oil Bottle in Glass brings the authentic atmosphere of an Italian trattoria directly to your laid table. With its modest capacity of 250 ml, this bottle is perfectly sized for daily use, ensuring the oil always stays fresh and is not exposed to light and air for too long.

The design stands out for its simplicity. The flowing, organic lines of the glass sit comfortably in the hand and allow the golden-green hues of the olive oil to shimmer beautifully in the ambient light. The neck is designed to allow for smooth pouring without dripping.

The bottle is crowned with an authentic natural cork stopper. This seals the bottle airtight to prevent oxidation and gives the whole a distinctive, rustic artisan look on the table.

Functional Anatomy & Preservation

Olive oil is a delicate product that is sensitive to oxidation from atmospheric oxygen. The elasticity of the natural cork guarantees an airtight seal:

1. Inert Glass: Prevents any reaction with the lipophilic acids in the olive oil.

2. Compact Volume: Ensures a quick flow so that the oil does not age in the oil bottle.

3. Hermetic Seal: Slows down the formation of hydroperoxides (rancidity) for a long-lasting fresh aroma.

Elegant Presentation & Usage Tips

• Styling the Dinner Table: Place the oil bottle next to a bowl of coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper for a complete Italian table setting.

• Flavoured Oils: Ideal for presenting your own chilli oil, rosemary oil or garlic infusion thanks to the clear glass.

• Gift Tip: Combine this glass oil dispenser with a bottle of our Oleificio Tiso olive oil for a stylish culinary gift.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Why is a capacity of 250 ml better than a large carafe?

  Olive oil deteriorates faster in quality when there is a lot of air in a half-empty carafe. With a compact capacity of 250 ml, the oil has a quicker flow, ensuring your oil always remains ultra-fresh and optimally flavoured.

• How can I best clean the oil bottle?

  First, rinse the glass with warm water to remove grease residues. Then wash it with a mild dish soap (or place the glass bottle in the dishwasher). Ensure the glass is 100% dry before refilling; water droplets can make the oil cloudy. Clean the cork stopper with a slightly damp cloth.

• Is the bottle also suitable for vinegar?

  Yes, the high-quality soda-lime glass is resistant to both lipophilic acids (oil) and acetic acids.

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.
