Olive oil is typically packaged in green glass bottles to protect it from exposure to light, which can cause it to spoil and lose its flavor. Green glass also serves the purpose of filtering out ultraviolet light and other harmful rays that can damage the oil. These aluminum bottles now house California Olive Ranch's 100% California extra virgin olive oil, [avocado blend oil](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-avocado-oil-holiday-set) and reserve blend extra virgin olive oil. As chief executive officer Michael Fox said, "our goal with this launch is to provide premium extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil blends to all consumers, removing price as a prohibitive purchase factor." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 15% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Recyclable Packaging:** Companies can innovate their packaging to be more protective and eco-friendly, providing a competitive advantage in the market. - **Eco-friendly Materials:** By using sustainable materials like aluminum, companies can reduce waste and cater to eco-conscious consumers. - **Filtered Packaging:** Packaging that filters harmful rays not only protects the product, but can also extend its shelf life and maintain its quality. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** By incorporating eco-friendly packaging, food and beverage companies can cater to consumers' sustainability concerns and differentiate their products from competitors. - **Cosmetics and Beauty:** Innovative packaging made from eco-friendly materials can be a unique selling point for cosmetics and beauty companies looking to stand out in the market. - **Household Products:** Companies producing household items can benefit from using recyclable packaging that appeals to environmentally-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Squeezable Californian Olive Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chef-style-squeeze-bottle.md) - [Squeezable Olive Oil Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chefs-bottle.md) - [Olive Oil Packaging Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drizzle-and-sizzle.md) - [Aluminum Wine Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aluminum-wine-bottles.md) - [Single-Serve Olive Oil Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spanish-extra-virgin-olive-oil.md) - [One-Handed Olive Oil Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dress-drizz.md) - [Ceramic Olive Oil Jars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cugu.md) - [California-Made Olive Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/california-extra-virgin-olive-oil.md) - [Canned Cold-Pressed Olive Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-olive-oil-guy.md)
