Quick answer
Refilling olive oil with The Original Refill Kit is a simple process: use the included funnel to pour from the 3L tin into your kitchen bottle, then store the tin in a cool, dark pantry for later use.
Why use a refill kit instead of buying new bottles every time?
Each time you buy a new bottle of extra virgin olive oil, you also buy the packaging. The Original Refill Kit from Kosterina cuts down on that waste by giving you a reusable kitchen bottle and a large 3L tin that holds six bottles' worth of oil. You keep the bottle on your counter or in your cupboard and refill it from the tin as needed.
The 3L tin also protects the oil from light and air better than a clear glass bottle does, so your oil stays fresher for longer. And because the kit is a favorite for subscription, you can set up a regular delivery and never run out.
How to refill your olive oil in 3 steps
- Set up your workspace: Place your empty Kosterina kitchen bottle on a stable, dry surface. Remove the cap and set it aside. Open the 3L tin by pulling the tab on the spout. If the spout has a seal, peel it off completely before pouring. Common mistake: Forgetting to remove the inner seal on the tin spout can block the flow and cause spills.
- Pour slowly into the bottle: Hold the 3L tin with both hands and tilt it gently over the bottle opening. Pour at a steady, moderate pace to avoid splashing. Fill the bottle to about an inch below the rim so you have room to screw the cap back on without overflow. Checkpoint: Stop pouring when the oil reaches the neck of the bottle. Overfilling makes the cap messy and can lead to drips on your counter.
- Seal and store the tin: Wipe the spout of the 3L tin with a clean cloth to remove any oil residue. Close the spout cap tightly. Store the tin in a cool, dark pantry away from the stove or direct sunlight. Screw the cap back onto your kitchen bottle and return it to your usual storage spot. Common mistake: Leaving the tin on a warm counter or near the oven can accelerate oxidation and reduce the oil's shelf life.
