Olive oil brand introduces new PET squeeze bottle format
US olive oil producer Pompeian has introduced a new packaging format for its extra virgin olive oil range. The “Pompeian Squeeze” bottle is made from flexible, recyclable PET and has been developed to make dosing and handling easier for consumers while reducing mess and waste.
The bottle features a no-drip, better-grip design that instantly returns to shape after each squeeze. Combined with a precision-control spout and a flip-top cap, the system is designed to release oil only when gentle pressure is applied, allowing for accurate portioning and cleaner use in the kitchen. The PET material provides transparency, strength, and recyclability, while maintaining the light weight required for convenient handling and transport.
According to the company, the aim of the new design was to combine functionality and sustainability in a single package. The flexible PET structure provides the benefits of a squeezable format without compromising recyclability. The Squeeze bottle is available in two olive oil variants, Smooth and Robust, and is being rolled out across major US retailers.
Pompeian, based in Baltimore since 1906, is a farmer-owned US olive oil brand with a range that includes vinegars and cooking sprays. The company operates its own quality control and research center to ensure product consistency and freshness.
