Handcrafted in our neighboring village
It looks so simple, but it is a true art: the Mellat pottery workshop in Traiguera has been in business for six generations. Santiago Mellat throws our olive oil cruets, which hold around 300 ml, making them perfect for everyday use and specially designed for olive oil.
Olive oil prefers darkness and cool temperatures, and the sturdy clay provides optimal protection from light, keeping the oil fresh for longer. This preserves the full, intense flavor your oil deserves.
Image for illustrative purposes; the stripes may be thicker or thinner from one cruet to the next (each cruet is thrown and painted by hand).
This is how you’ll enjoy it for a long time
Your little jug is hand-thrown on the potter's wheel. The clay recipe and firing process are specially adapted for olive oil.
Important: It is a natural product and does not like large temperature fluctuations. Therefore, do not place it directly next to the stove. Despite all pottery care, some jugs have started to "sweat" in the past and exude a little oil at the bottom.
We cannot prevent this. That is why we are including a small coaster that protects your countertop from drips.
