5-Liter Extra Virgin Olive Oil
The perfect family reserve: our mill olive oil in the convenience tin format, protected from light to preserve its freshness and aromas.
The 5-liter tin format: quality and economy in the kitchen
Buying extra virgin olive oil in a 5-liter format is the smartest choice for those who regularly use olive oil in the kitchen and seek the best value without compromising on excellence.
At Frantoio Del Pasqua in Arezzo, we pack our extra virgin olive oil in specially designed metal tins. This material ensures 100% protection against UV rays, the main enemy of the oil's antioxidants and aromas. The 5-liter tin also allows us to reduce packaging costs compared to glass bottles, offering an extremely advantageous price per liter for a superior quality oil, cold-extracted and ideal both for cooking and raw seasoning.
Total Protection
The tin completely blocks sunlight, preserving the nutritional properties intact.
Family Value
Best price-to-quality ratio due to savings on glass packaging.
Easy Pouring
Designed with an extendable drip-free spout for clean and easy pouring.
Storage & Tin Filling
From nitrogen-controlled steel tanks to bottling and sealing the protective tin.
Cisterne Inox sotto Azoto
Oil is stored under nitrogen gas in temperature-controlled tanks to exclude oxygen and prevent oxidation.
Riempimento e Sigillatura Ermetica
Tins are filled and hermetically sealed directly before shipping to guarantee maximum freshness.

Suggested culinary uses
Everyday Cooking

Slow-Cooked Sauces & Ragù
A versatile extra virgin oil that stands up to long, slow cooking, enriching traditional ragù, tomato sauces, and warm soups.
Baking & Light Frying
Thanks to its stable smoke point, it is perfect for baking potatoes, roasting meats, or creating light, flavorful fries.
Proper storage of Extra Virgin Olive Oil in Tins
Buying 5-liter extra virgin olive oil online directly from the producer allows you to receive fresh oil at home. To store it at its best, we recommend keeping the tin away from heat sources (like stoves or heaters) and at a constant temperature between 12°C and 18°C. For daily use, it is best to decant the oil into a clean dark glass bottle or oil cruet, thus limiting the exposure of the main supply to air.
