Glass is made from natural ingredients and is BPA-free, so no harmful chemicals can leach into food. The material does not absorb odours, flavours or stains.
Flavours stay true from batch to batch, and jars are suitable for repeated use without lingering smells or discolouration.
Durable and easy to care for, with sturdy glass and clear care guidelines
High-quality sodalime glass has consistent wall thickness for fewer weak points, and the jar body is dishwasher safe. The tin disc and screw band require hand washing and immediate drying to retain performance.
Robust glass survives everyday use while simple lid maintenance preserves sealing performance and prolongs lifespan.
