Best Glass Bottle Olive Oil

Tinned Olive Oil

Harvesting season is one of the most cherished time of the year for us olive producers. When this time of the year comes we start our laborious task of hand picking our olives. There are two seperate harvest seasons for Palamidas. One is called the Early Harvest, when selected gardens are hand picked for our Early Harvest Premium Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil products. During this time olives are gathered only by hand to minimize any harm done to the fruit and to ensure the quality of the end product. The Early Harvest starts in the late days of September when the olives are still bright green and ends in mid October. The second harvest season starts in mid October and continues until the early days of January. This is when the majority of the gardens are picked. Olives that are obtained during this period are still high quality, the only difference is that olives are ripe to be pressed as well as ready to be consumed as table olives.

Packaging At Palamidas Ensures That The Quality Of The Olive Oil Does Not Deteriorate

Our company was established over a decade back, to offer the highest quality olive oil press in the market. While a lot of people know and understand what the production process of olive oil is and how important quality control is, what a lot of people do not know is that the packaging of the olive oil is just as important to preserve the quality and taste of the oil. If you find olive oil in plastic packing in supermarkets, steer clear! It is unlikely to be an oil of good quality.

Why choose us for glass bottle olive oil

We at Palamidas only use glass packaging for our olive oil. This is because our harvesting and production process is done painstakingly with love and a lot of care. While a lot of our competitors are choosing to machine harvest olives, olives may get damaged if harvested with machine – and hence, we still undertake traditional hand harvesting of our olives. Our Early Harvest Premium Quality Extra Virgin Oil which is prepared so carefully, therefore, obviously needs the best packaging too!

One of the biggest reasons for the deterioration or rancidity of olive oil is the oxidation of lipids. This depends on factors such as the availability of oxygen, the temperature at which the olive oil is stored and the amount of light exposure that the bottle receives. Hence, we understand the importance of adopting a scientific packaging system for our products to prevent deterioration of quality and to ensure that only the best and freshest olive oil is sent to our customers.
The biggest advantage of using glass in our packaging is that, unlike plastic, and a lot of other materials, glass is impermeable to oxygen. Additionally, because of the scientific design of our bottles, our products remain protected from light exposure as well. This helps retain the quality of the olive oil, irrespective of where it is being shipped to. It is for this reason that our glass bottle olive oil is extremely popular and sought after.
Being a family-run business in the farming industry, protecting the environment forms a part of our business ethos. We prefer using glass because it is sterile and eco-friendly, compared to other options. It also provides a substantial premium feel, because of its texture and properties. Our packaging is also spill-proof and leak-proof, and is manufactured with the highest quality materials to prevent the packaging from affecting the olive oil inside the packaging.

Storing olive oil in the right container

If you spend a lot of money on high-quality olive oil, it is important to ensure that you also know that storing the olive oil is just as important. Factors such as where the olive oil is stored, the temperature that it is stored at and what container it is stored in can contribute to the reduction of the shelf-life of olive oil. It is usually recommended that olive oil be kept in a clean and dark place, without exposure to harsh heat or lights. Apart from glass-based olive oil packaging, tinned olive oil is also available.

Here are some of the reasons why it is extremely important to store your olive oil properly, and some tips to ensure that you get the best use of your olive oil!
  • You can increase the shelf-life of the oil: As with any other food product, storing the olive oil in the manner that it is meant to be stored can ensure that the oil remains shelf-stable for a longer time, without getting rancid. 
  • Store the olive oil in a container with a good lid: It is important to ensure that the olive oil remains in minimal contact with the air. Even during our production process, we painstakingly ensure that the least amount of air gets in contact with the oil. This is to prevent the oxidisation of the oil. If you use the oil, remember to close the lid immediately. 
  • Keep it away from direct lights and harsh heat: If you live in an area with a large amount of ambient heat, direct sunlight, or extreme humidity, it is important to protect your olive oil against all of these elements. Keeping the oil in a cool and dark place can solve these troubles. 

Do not directly use a spoon or other types of metals inside the bottle. This increases the propensity for the oil to oxidise. For instance, iron and copper utensils may result in a quicker oxidisation process. 

Storing olive oil in the right container

If you take a walk to your supermarket nearby, you will find olive oil packed in a variety of materials, including metals, glass, plastics and plastic-coated paperboard. A lot of our competitors choose to pack their olive oil in plastic bottles, but we believe that glass and tin are much safer options. Further, given the recent studies of the micro contamination of plastics in food products, it is overall safer to choose glass as a packaging material when it comes to food.

You can store your olive oil in our bottles directly!
With our packaging, you do not have to stress thinking about how to store your olive oil or take the effort to transfer the oil into another container. The speciality of our packaging is that it can be directly stored, but remember to keep it in a cool dark place!
