Why Are Olive Oil Bottles Green
Olive oil bottles are often green because green glass helps protect the oil from UV light, which can cause oxidation and spoilage. Here’s why:
-
UV Protection – Green glass filters out some harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, reducing the risk of rancidity.
-
Preservation of Quality – Exposure to light can degrade the oil’s antioxidants and healthy fats, affecting flavor and nutritional value.
-
Tradition & Branding – Green glass has been historically used for wine and olive oil, giving it a premium and authentic appearance
For even better protection, you can use amber or opaque glass or store bottles in boxes to block light completely.
