Cleaning refillable olive oil bottle

How to clean your olive oil bottle

Many of our Citizens use our refill pouches to top up their bottles, but do you need to clean this every time?

Finding ways to re-use packaging is great, but olive oil is a fresh fruit juice, so we want to store it in the best conditions.

When it comes to cleaning our reusable bottles, we recommend every three months—but at the very least once a year.

And when it comes to adding in a new harvest or new oil altogether, don’t top up your bottle of older oil with the fresh batch without a rinse with soap and water!


Cleaning your reusable water bottle.

Here's how to clean it:
1. Take the spout out of the bottle. TIP: We find it easiest to pop it out by using a wine corkscrew.
2. Rinse the bottle and the spout thoroughly.
3. Rub the bottle with some dish soap and water. Rinse again.
4. Leave it to completely dry out.
5. Refill the bottle and pop the spout back in!


Now that you got your bottle fresh and clean, you can enjoy oil of it. 😉

Caramelised courgette orzo with burrata

Sweet, seasonal courgettes are sautéed in EVOO for caramelised deliciousness, and smooth, creamy burrata and mint leaves add a touch of freshness to this summer orzo.  We’re not ones to put limitations on the kitchen, but when it comes to summer cooking, there are two rules we like to abide by: no ovens allowed, and ready in 30 minutes. This recipe from cookbook author and chef Sophie Godwin hits just the spot. This recipe was created specifically for our Olive Oil Club's June oil from Sicil...


Mango sorbet

Spicy, boozy, and deliciously extra virgin olive oily. A pinch of chilli salt adds a subtle kick to the smooth mango, and EVOO makes for a creamy, delicious scoop of sorbet.  This recipe from Kali Jago (@kalicooking) has only a few, simple ingredients, but is full of flavour. "I love being offered chilli salt to sprinkle on fruit," says Kali, inspiring the recipe with a delicious nod to her time travelling in Mexico and South East Asia. The EVOO drizzle to finish is essential, and although op...
