Glass, or Pass: The Problem with EVOO in Plastic Packaging

While plastic bottles are convenient, they are the least ideal way to store olive oil. Experts agree that olive oil is highly sensitive to light, heat, and oxygen, and plastic offers poor protection against these elements. Over time, this exposure can damage the oil's integrity and even cause it to turn rancid. For this reason, dark glass bottles are considered the gold standard, as they best preserve the oil's quality and flavor.

Why Always Buy Olive Oil in Dark Glass Bottles:

When choosing a quality organic olive oil like DAMYA, the bottle matters almost as much as what’s inside. According to the experts featured in a recent Yahoo’s article, dark glass bottles are a must because they block damaging UV rays and are nonreactive, helping protect the delicate oils and preserve their vibrant flavor and nutritional benefits. In contrast, plastic or clear containers can expose olive oil to light and heat, accelerating oxidation and compromising both taste and health properties. 

This simple switch—from flimsy plastic or see-through bottles to sturdy, dark glass—can make a noticeable difference in how long your olive oil stays fresh, aromatic, and drizzle-ready in your kitchen arsenal.
