What is a DOP Closure and how do you apply it to an Olive Oil glass bottle?  Once the olive oil has been filled into the bottle you can see the video on how to apply.

How to apply a DOP closure to an olive oil bottle

This video shows how a DOP closure can be applied to the olive oil bottle.  The non-refillable DOP snap closure once fitted is not removable.  The DOP is considered safe, hygienic and very easy to apply even without the need for machinery.  One pressure application can have the DOP applied to the bottle and is ready to remove the tamper-evident seal  and pour the olive oil directly from the bottle.

The non-refillable system is a new type that can be seen across Europe without the need for applying the thread to the bottle.

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.
