Which 5-litre tin suits your kitchen?
With a 5-litre tin of olive oil, you have a generous supply of Spanish extra virgin olive oil at home. At Casa Gomez, you can choose between Oro de Génave BIO and Señorío de Segura: both made from Picual olives and suitable for cooking, frying, and cold use.
The first question is simple: do you want organic olive oil, or do you prefer Señorío de Segura with D.O. Sierra de Segura? After that, compare the flavour and current price.

Also compare the price per litre
Both tins contain 5 litres. The price per litre is the price of the tin divided by five. In addition to the current price, take into account organic farming, taste, and your own consumption.
Does 5 litres of olive oil suit your consumption?
A 5-litre tin contains the same amount of olive oil as ten 500 ml bottles. How long it lasts depends on how much you use.
250 ml per week
With this consumption, a 5-litre tin will mathematically last you about 20 weeks.
500 ml per week
With this consumption, a 5-litre tin will mathematically last you about 10 weeks.
These are consumption calculation examples, not a guarantee of shelf life. Check the expiry date and storage advice on the product. Do you use little olive oil? A smaller package might be more practical.
How to use and store a 5-litre tin
- Store your supply in a cool and dark place. Keep the tin out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources such as the stove.
- Fill a small kitchen bottle. Use a clean, completely dry bottle and pour only the amount you need for daily use.
- Close the tin after use. Clean the kitchen bottle in between and let it dry completely before refilling it.
Frequently asked questions about 5-litre tins
Can I also use this olive oil cold?
Yes. Both Picual olive oils can be used in a dressing, over vegetables, or for dipping bread. Choose based on the flavour you prefer; a large tin is a packaging choice, not a limitation in usage.
How long does the olive oil stay good after opening?
That depends on the oil, its age, and how it is stored. Follow the information on the product. Seal the tin tightly and protect the oil from heat, light, and air.
