OLIVE OIL STORAGE
The Sansone Welded Fusti Tanks represent one of the most trusted stainless steel container designs in the food industry. Manufactured in Italy by Sansone, these tanks are built according to the highest international standards for the preservation of food-grade liquids such as olive oil, wine, honey, and food-grade liquids.
Each unit is produced using 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel and is NSF certified, ensuring unmatched reliability, purity, and corrosion resistance. Their seamless welded construction guarantees easy cleaning and prevents the accumulation of organic matter or bacterial colonies - a crucial feature for industries where hygiene is paramount.
Built with head-to-head welding technology, the Sansone welded drums are designed to achieve maximum cleanliness and strength. This advanced welding method eliminates internal joints, making the surface completely smooth, which allows for easy sanitation and total prevention of bacterial growth.
These tanks are ideal for food processing, laboratory, and industrial applications that require hygiene compliant liquid handling. The seamless welded design also upholds that no residues or flavour transfer occur, maintaining the quality of your stored product.
Each model undergoes strict testing to meet the most rigorous quality standards and is part of Sansone’s commitment to producing long-lasting stainless steel containers that meet professional and domestic needs alike.
All models are equipped with a welded stainless-steel setup for a ½-inch tap, allowing safe and precise liquid dispensing. Each drum can also be paired with optional stainless steel or laminated stands, available in tall and short models or even with wheels for mobility.
Sansone provides several high-quality accessories to enhance functionality and handling convenience:
Each Sansone welded fusti is produced under ISO 9001:2000 certified quality control systems to ensure consistent performance and reliability. The use of premium-grade 18/10 stainless steel guarantees long life, even under demanding industrial use.
Whether used in olive oil production by producers, wineries, or laboratories, these tanks provide the peace of mind that comes from Italian-made precision engineering, smooth cleaning surfaces, and safe, airtight liquid containment.
For olive oil producers, the Sansone Europa welded tanks provide the ideal environment for oil preservation, protecting against oxidation and contamination while maintaining taste and freshness. The tanks’ sleek finish and robust structure also make them suitable for front-of-house or retail presentation, where hygiene and visual quality are essential.
From boutique olive oil farms to food manufacturers, these stainless steel fusti tanks represent a long-term investment in quality, safety, and professionalism.

In a landmark moment for global agricultural preservation, olive seeds have been deposited for the first time in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault - the world’s most secure facility for safeguarding crop diversity.
Located deep within the Arctic permafrost of Norway’s Svalbard archipelago, the Seed Vault serves as a global backup system for the planet’s agricultural biodiversity. Often described as the “doomsday vault,” it protects seeds against the risks of climate change, natural disasters, conflict, and biodiversity loss.
Now, for the first time in history, olive seeds are part of that global legacy.
The deposit marks a significant step forward in protecting one of the world’s most iconic and culturally important crops. Olive trees have sustained civilizations for thousands of years, symbolising peace, resilience and nourishment. Preserving their genetic diversity ensures that this legacy continues for generations to come.
Jaime Lillo Lopez, Executive Director of the International Olive Council (IOC), highlighted the importance of the moment:
“The seeds we have deposited are the legacy of farmers who, throughout history, selected the most resistant trees - those that produced the best fruit or adapted to diverse soils, climates and diverse conditions. These seeds are a guarantee that future generations will continue to enjoy such an extraordinary product as olive oil.”
His words underscore what this deposit truly represents: not just seeds, but centuries of accumulated knowledge, adaptation, and agricultural selection.
This initiative was launched within the framework of the European H2020 GEN4OLIVE project, a research programme dedicated to unlocking and conserving olive genetic diversity. It was subsequently promoted by the IOC, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and Spain’s Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.
The collaboration extended to leading academic and research institutions, including:
Organisations such as NordGen and the Crop Trust, along with representatives including Juan Antonio Polo Palomino, Abderraouf Laajimi, Álvaro Toledo, Dr. Kent Nnadozie, Concepción Muñoz Diez, Hristofor Miho and Pablo Morello Parra, also played key roles in bringing this milestone to fruition.
For olive growers and producers worldwide, this development carries profound implications.
Olive trees are uniquely adapted to marginal soils, water scarcity, and variable climates. However, increasing pressures from:
Traditional and wild olive varieties contain traits that may hold the key to:
The symbolic power of Mediterranean olive genetics being stored in Arctic ice is profound. It reflects the global importance of olives - no longer confined to traditional growing regions but increasingly cultivated across diverse climates worldwide.
As olive production expands into new regions, including areas facing climatic volatility, the value of preserved genetic material grows exponentially. The Svalbard deposit ensures that even in worst-case scenarios, the genetic foundation of the olive sector remains secure.
This initiative goes beyond seed banking.
It represents recognition that agricultural biodiversity is a shared global responsibility. Farmers, researchers, governments, and international organisations are united by a common understanding: safeguarding crop diversity is essential for future food systems.
The olive industry - deeply rooted in tradition - is demonstrating that it is equally committed to innovation, resilience and long-term stewardship.
For growers, processors, and industry stakeholders, this historic deposit sends a message: the olive sector is planning for the long term.
Preserving traditional and wild varieties ensures that future generations will continue to:
When it comes to oil storage you need to consider the impacts on quality in relation to the proposed storage to be used.
This article is about some of the latest research as funded by RIRDC to determine the best storage for your oil.
Remember just because a manufacturer states the container(s) are food-grade doesn't necessarily means they are safe to use for olive oil. ?(All the containers used in this study were regarded as "Food Grade").
Here is a excerpt from the article:
For example, sometimes growers produce oil with very high quality initially, which quickly deteriorates due to the conditions under which it is stored,? he said.
The olive oil can deteriorate so much that it can no longer be classified as extra virgin olive oil, at a huge expense to the growers.
The changes in oil quality described in this report will encourage producers, as well as others in the supply chain of olive oil, to consider the facilities used to store olive oil in order to maintain the high-quality olive oil Australia is increasingly renowned for producing.
