Three good reasons to choose Bag-in-Box

Bag-in-Box is without any doubt the format that is transforming the way extra virgin olive oil is stored and consumed. It is a practical, protective, and increasingly appreciated solution for preserving olive oil over time. By protecting the oil from air and light, it helps reduce waste and adapts perfectly both to everyday kitchen use and to larger family consumption. It is more practical than a bottle and also safer than a traditional tin. Until now, in fact, we have been accustomed to consuming olive oil from classic bottles — convenient at the table, yet limited in capacity. At the same time, many consumers have chosen to keep small reserves of olive oil in larger containers such as tins.

But, if we are honest, neither of these formats has ever fully satisfied us. Bottles, despite the light-protective materials used in their packaging, remain exposed to light. Tins, on the other hand — just like bottles — once opened are inevitably exposed to oxidation, a process that gradually compromises the quality of extra virgin olive oil.

How can olive oil be stored safely and practically?

It is precisely in response to these needs that Oleificio Cericola introduced the Bag-in-Box format. The Bag-in-Box presents itself as one of the most suitable solutions for preserving extra virgin olive oil over time. It consists of two elements: an outer cardboard box, customisable according to the producer’s needs, and an inner sealed pouch made of food-grade material that contains the olive oil itself.

Unlike traditional bulk containers, the olive oil stored inside the Bag-in-Box does not need to be transferred into another, more practical container. Thanks to the integrated tap connected directly to the inner pouch, the oil can be dispensed easily whenever needed. Through the small side tap, it is possible to pour the olive oil into an oil cruet or directly onto a bruschetta with a simple gesture. We can summarise the reasons why choosing Bag-in-Box is worthwhile in three key points:

1. Practical and easy to handle

Available in convenient 3 L and 5 L formats, the Bag-in-Box is extremely easy to transport and store. It fits comfortably in the pantry and can be moved onto the kitchen counter with ease. Lightweight and practical, it can be carried with one hand thanks to its integrated handle.

2. Easy to use

As mentioned, using the Bag-in-Box is remarkably simple. The integrated tap allows the olive oil to be poured precisely where needed in one smooth and immediate gesture.

3. The safest way to store extra virgin olive oil

Recent scientific studies have shown that, thanks to the sealed inner pouch, the olive oil stored inside is protected from both light and oxygen. This helps preserve its nutraceutical properties — the very qualities that make extra virgin olive oil such an essential part of a healthy diet.

One more reason

If all of this is still not enough to convince you that the future of extra virgin olive oil storage lies in the Bag-in-Box format, there is another advantage: affordability. The Bag-in-Box offers a convenient way to keep larger quantities of healthy olive oil at home while maintaining excellent value! And there is more. Oleificio Cericola understands the importance of healthy nutrition and has therefore created a promotion designed specifically for families.
