Nestor, close to families and the soil

A fantastic product like NESTOR OLIVE OIL also carries a fantastic responsibility. We have always been dedicated to making the best olive oil possible and have worked hard to do so. Today, we are able to claim victory. Many of our clients actually view Amphikanon as irreplaceable, the extra virgin olive oil from their family that they wouldn't trade for anything else.

But this is not enough, we at Nestor have set ourselves a new goal to overcome: sustainability.

For this reason we have studied and created a new package, the “Bag in Box”. A practical container for olive oil that does not alter the quality of our products.

What is it about? A container for oil with tap in ecological format for the well-being of the family and the planet.

The same oil that you would find in glass bottles is contained inside the Bag in Box: same quality, same production, same processing. A simply larger format that allows you to break down:

• All ancillary costs for the creation of aesthetic packaging (bottles, caps, labels, capsules, etc.);
• Emissions from their production, -90%;
• The waste deriving from their disposal, -70%.

The price you will pay will only include the cost for the primary good: olive oil. It is always us, it is always the same olive oil. We just took off our unnecessary “clothes” and highlighted what is really important for our company: high quality extra virgin olive oil.

The advantages of our oil container

The new format, used for the distribution of oil, is extremely advantageous because it allows the product to be preserved in the best possible way, without the penetration of oxygen and light, factors responsible for the oxidation phenomenon.

The Bag in Box is much more convenient than tin containers because it has already inserted the measuring tap inside. It is never greasy, it is never dirty and it is also highly sustainable for the environment. Just consider that a 5-liter Bag in Box saves waste equal to 10 glass bottles, 10 capsules and 10 labels.

Same great quality as always, in a large format, for a great saving.

Let’s see how it works

How does a Bag in Box work?

The outer box protects the bag inside, which stores the oil in the dark and without the passage of oxygen. To use it, there is no need to open the box; the only thing you have to do, once you receive the bag, is to pull out the tap.

1. Place the box on a table, so that it rests on the long side opposite the tap.
2. Press on the black circle, trying to move your thumb from the center to the sides while pressing.
3. Once the black cardboard cap is removed, remove it and lift up the dotted cardboard tab adjacent to the side.
4. Insert your hand and remove the tap, placing it in the circular hole. Once secured, close the side tab.

To make it work, you have to put the box vertically, with the tap facing down, and remove the safety protection from the tap. For correct and easy dispensing, put your thumb on the upper green part and place your index and middle fingers in the two side flaps.

The amount of olive oil that comes out of the tap depends on the intensity used in pressing the tap. Press gently to release the oil in single drops, or more vigorously if you want to pour the oil slowly. Just remove your fingers from the tap and the liquid flow stops immediately, without dripping and without dirtying.

A practical and quick solution to use when cooking dishes or in condiments. The bag in box, light and compact, can be stored in the kitchen cabinets and used when necessary. There is no need to pour the oil, nor to keep a thousand containers (for cooking, for dressing, to bring to the table, etc.). Just one container for olive oil is enough: the Bag in Box.

A unique and handy solution for a thousand uses in the home.

You may wonder why the Bag in Box is the finest packaging for olive oil

Because olive oil has two major foes. That's light and oxygen.
So, if you pack olive oil in a tin can, it will be protected from light, but after you use the oil, oxygen will enter the tin can and oxidize the oil slowly and steadily.

If you put olive oil in a bottle, it will oxidize due to light and oxygen.

As a result, if you package in a 'Bag in Box,' there is no oxydation by light or oxygen. You can fill a little bottle with the oil you need, and the Bag in the box will shrink as the amount of oil you take out decreases. As a result, the Bag is devoid of both light and oxygen.

So get a lovely bottle and utilize the bag-in-box system to refill the bottle you use in the kitchen and on the table.
