Why Packaging Matters: How We Protect the Good Stuff Inside Every Bottle

When it comes to extra virgin olive oil, packaging isn't just about looking pretty on your kitchen counter (although, we do love a stylish bottle). It plays a crucial role in protecting the quality, taste, and health benefits of the oil inside—especially when that oil is as fresh and honest as Olivva.

Light Is the Enemy

One of the biggest threats to olive oil is light exposure. UV rays degrade the oil, breaking down its antioxidants and turning that vibrant, flavorful goodness into something flat and lifeless. That’s why Olivva comes in an extra-black, fully opaque bottle—designed to block light and keep the oil fresh from harvest to drizzle.

Air? Not Welcome Here

Oxygen causes olive oil to oxidize, which means it goes rancid faster. We use a twist-top squeezy bottle to limit the oil’s exposure to air every time you use it. No glugging, no mess—just precise, clean pouring and less oxidation.

Heat: Another Silent Killer

High temperatures can spoil olive oil, so while we can’t control your kitchen climate, we can reduce unnecessary exposure during shipping. That’s why our bottles are lightweight for eco-shipping, ensuring faster and safer delivery without sacrificing protection.

Material Matters

Our bottles are made from 100% recycled plastic—good for the planet, and great for keeping your oil safe. It’s food-safe and designed for daily use without compromise.

Why It All Matters

Olive oil is alive with flavor, antioxidants, and healthy fats—but only if you treat it right. The right packaging ensures what you pour over your salad or sizzle in your pan is as delicious and nutritious as the day it was bottled.

So next time you reach for Olivva, know that what’s outside is working just as hard as what’s inside.
