Storing extra virgin olive oil and wine correctly is not just a matter of space: it's a matter of quality, taste, and food safety. Crimped drums and containers are the ideal solution for those who want to protect their product, preserving its organoleptic characteristics, fragrance, and flavour over time.
The quality of crimped containers
Crimped drums are distinguished by their hermetic seal, which prevents air and impurities from entering, avoiding oxidation and ensuring optimal preservation. They are made of stainless steel or food-grade galvanized sheet metal, materials that are safe for food liquids, impact-resistant, and reusable for multiple seasons.
How to choose the right container
-
Capacity: evaluate the volume of liquid to be stored. Smaller drums for fresh oil or small quantities of wine, larger containers for greater production.
-
Material: stainless steel for maximum hygiene and resistance, galvanized sheet metal for an excellent compromise between lightness and durability.
-
Closure: ensure it is perfectly hermetic; crimps provide superior protection.
Main uses
-
Extra virgin olive oil: the hermetic seal and certified material preserve the oil's color, aroma, and taste, preventing oxidation and alteration.
-
Wine and must: crimped drums allow for correct storage and safe maturation, maintaining organoleptic properties intact.
-
Other food liquids: such as vinegars or natural juices, always protected from external contamination.
Practical tips for use
-
Cleaning and sanitization: before each use, ensure the container is clean and dry.
-
Correct filling: avoid leaving too much empty space to reduce contact with air.
-
Storage: keep containers in cool places, away from direct light.
-
Labeling: marking the date and product type helps with lot management, especially for maturing wine and oil.
Why invest in quality containers?
A professional container is not just an expense: it's an investment to protect months of work, guarantee the authenticity of the product, and ensure that the oil or wine arrives intact until the moment of consumption or sale.
