Olive Oil Bottle

Olive oil drizzlers should be created with an elegant looking, practical and useful design. A bottle that has oil dripping down the side will make any guest reluctant to hold it let alone use it during a meal. Purchased olive oil from the store in a dark bottle does not add to the ambiance of a successful meal. An excellent olive oil decanter saves drips and spills and that translates into wasted money that had been spent on the cold pressed extra virgin olive oil.

There are numerous designs and popular decorative bottles which feature gourmet or Tuscan scenes on the bottles. Bottles made in China will have labeled silk screen to appear hand painted. If the bottle pour spouts are made from any other material other than glass or stainless steel, they will corrode when vinegar is added to the bottle. Most chefs prefer bottles made from glass so that the contents of the bottle can be seen.

Inexpensive olive oil bottles can be bought at retail stores and grocery stores and they come with a rubber and chromed spout. Unfortunately, though, these bottles tend to tip over easily and drip oil down the sides. You get what you pay for. For storage, olive oil needs to be stored in a dark, air tight bottle. This will protect the precious oil from ultraviolet lights. Cork stoppers are provided to seal the bottle once it is opened.

Bottles purchased at the store are not ideal for dispensing olive oil at a dinner table. An ideal bottle should also serve as a drizzle server. Purchasing a hand made drizzle cruet will provide the right amount of extra virgin olive oil while preparing a meal or enjoying one at the table. These olive oil bottles come in two pieces and can drizzle either vinegar, olive oil or flavored syrups. The neck is wide, thus preventing drip and have non-corrosive glass spouts that are hygienic in appearance. This wide neck allows the filling of these bottles made easy as they act as a built in funnel.

When purchasing drizzle cruets for the table, show off your finest extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Neither will drip on the table or on your guests when being used. A special time requires special dinnerware that will include the appropriate drizzle cruets.
