Marconi Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Packets, 25 Pack

Marconi puts certified organic extra virgin olive oil into individual foil packets, twenty-five to a box. Each one is a single portion, sized to dress one salad rather than a bowl for the table, and it tears open with one hand straight over the plate.

This is the format foodservice runs on. On a salad bar or a cafeteria line, packets let each guest pour their own oil and keep the counter clean; caterers and box-lunch operators like them because a portion is a portion, which makes the cost per cover easy to predict. The same logic scales down to one person. A packet lies flat in a desk drawer, a carry-on or a lunch bag, and unlike a half-full bottle in a tote, it travels sealed and stays put.

Good to have on hand for office lunches, hotel rooms and flights, camping and trail meals, and for the moment you want a little oil over soup, pasta, bread or steamed vegetables away from your own kitchen.
