Light is the number one enemy for any packaged extra virgin olive oil. The more a package of EVOO is exposed to light, the more its content will lose its health benefits and flavor profile.
This means that transparent bottles constantly exposed to light will not remain ‘extra virgin’ for more than just 3-4 weeks. Unfortunately, this will be the case for many Olive oils stored in clear bottles on supermarket or deli -stores shelves.
Even green bottles can not entirely prevent the light from reaching the product and altering its chemical profile.
The best solution is cardboard containers or bag in box packaging which provide excellent protection to olive oil from light.
That’s why in MONOGRAM , we have chosen to use recyclable and durable “cardboard containers” as well as “bag in a box packaging” as a packaging material, keeping our product fully protected. Although most of our bottles are transparent inside, they are always sold on the shelves in their cardboard packaging, ensuring 100% protection from light.
