Gourmet Oil and Vinegar

An Olive Oil Bottle for the Table

Have you ever picked up a slippery olive oil bottle and right then and there wondered, which olive oil bottle should you use? The old saying,  “You get what you pay for.” You just may have used an inexpensive bottle which you found at a local Dollar Store or one of those discount stores. They usually are not ornate in design and are designed just to be handy. If the spout of one of those inexpensive bottles is not made from ceramic or stainless steel, then these bottles are subject to corrosion, especially when vinegar is stored in them. It can make for a very unsightly look and your guests may hesitate in using your olive oil bottle at the table.

Olive oil needs to be stored in a different container other than the dispensing bottle. In the grocery store, you no doubt have noticed that olive oil is purchased in dark bottles. This is to protect the oil from ultraviolet lights and cork or reusable caps are used to seal the bottle once it has been opened.

On the table, though, you will want to use an attractive bottle to be used on your food plates. Use a decanting olive oil bottle that is durable and practical. Don’t use this bottle to store remaining olive oil in the cupboards. It would be best to pour about eight ounces of olive oil into the table bottle. Better to refill it more often as it will guarantee freshness and the delicate flavor will be preserved.

Your finest olive oil can be presented in a drizzle cruet which comes in tasteful Euro designs. Because the neck of a drizzle cruet is wide, drips are practically non-existent and the glass spouts will not corrode. The most durable glass is used to create these olive oil bottles which come in two pieces. They can be used to dispense olive oil, vinegar or even flavored syrups. Acting as funnels, these wide neck bottles will prevent the distasteful oily contact of handling bottles that are prone to drip their contents.

After all, you have planned for a very special occasion. You want everything to be just perfect, even right down to the purchased bottle that will hold the expensive extra virgin olive oil and a bottle that will protect the oil from light and air. You have learned the many benefits of using olive oil in your cooking and you want to make sure your guest will also enjoy these benefits.

To save money, you had learned that not all olive oil bottles are created equal and you have managed to find a drizzle cruet that will meet your needs. No longer will your guests have to struggle with a container that drips oil. Nor a container that is visibly corroded due to having vinegar stored in it. Your meal is guaranteed to be a pleasant experience when you, the chef, have taken the time to investigate and purchase a drizzle cruet that can make the table rounds without the worry of olive oil being used on anything else other than what it was intended.
