How to Use This Green Terracotta Jar for Olive Oil
Keep It Within Easy Reach
Place the jar near your food preparation area so you can add olive oil while cooking. Its distinctive green finish makes it attractive enough to remain on display rather than being hidden in a cupboard.
Bring It to the Table
Use the jar when serving bread, antipasti, salads or pasta. It creates a relaxed Italian dining experience and allows guests to add olive oil according to their taste.
Add a Finishing Drizzle
Pour a small amount over cooked food immediately before serving. This allows the fresh aroma and peppery flavour of the oil to remain noticeable.
Create Dressings and Marinades
Combine the olive oil with lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, herbs, garlic or mustard to make fresh dressings and marinades.
Refill the Jar
Once the original olive oil has been used, refill the vessel with our bottled extra virgin olive oil. Reusing the jar helps reduce unnecessary packaging while giving you a practical kitchen piece with lasting value.
Why Choose Our Green Terracotta Jar?
- Made Locally in Puglia
The green terracotta vessel is made locally in Puglia, a region with a long history of olive cultivation and ceramic craftsmanship. Its shape is influenced by traditional containers once used by local households to store and serve olive oil and wine. This connection to Puglian life gives the jar a sense of place that ordinary kitchen containers cannot replicate.
- Filled With Olive Oil From Our Own Groves
We use cold extraction to preserve the oil’s natural flavour, aroma, and nutritional qualities. This gentle process helps protect the antioxidants and delicate character of the olives, resulting in an extra virgin olive oil that is fresh, vibrant, and full of depth.
- Naturally Ultra-Low in Acidity
Our extra virgin olive oil has an acidity level of no more than 0.3%. Low acidity is associated with careful handling, healthy olives and prompt extraction after harvesting. It is one of the qualities that distinguishes thoughtfully produced extra virgin olive oil from ordinary cooking oils.
