Olive oil in a bag within a box (Bag-In-Box) is a relatively new notion in the olive oil industry. We introduce the concept to Singapore last year for our olive oil users. As of date, we are not aware of any local olive oil suppliers/distributors embrace this idea.
Without doubts, the two most important benefits of Bag-in-Box are, firstly, it is value-for-money, and second, it keeps the content fresher for a longer period after opening.
Bag-in-Box consists of a bladder, and a box, of which both are providing double protective layers for any possible light penetration to the olive oil. Together with an air-tight dispenser or tap, which is made of a one-way valve, it protects the olive oil from exposure to air and coming in contact with oxygen and moisture upon opening.
A study conducted by the University of Córdoba has contributed to the Bag-In-Box for consistently preserving the quality and extending the shelf life of olive oil over a longer period of time, versus if the olive oil is packaged in glass or PET bottle, or tin when it is opened for use.
