The bottle is closed
The oil goes into the bottles
The operators prepare the clean bottles.
Then they carefully fill them with oil.
@ A.D.O.S. INTERNATIONALThe story
The woman in charge points to the next stage. “After storage and preparation of the product, the operators fill the bottles, close them and apply the labels.”
Giulio takes the preview of the little bottle. “For now, in the illustration, we write: A.D.O.S. INTERNATIONAL farm.”
“Has the new label arrived yet?” asks Ada. “We will add it when it is available,” Giulio replies. “For now, this is a provisional presentation.”
Tila puts the books beside the little bottle. “Now you can tell the story of the route: tree, olives, mill, checks, storage, transfer and bottle.”
On the arranged visit to learn about bottling, the group follows the safe route again. Adults prepare containers suitable for food and check the line. The oil goes into bottles, which are closed. The woman in charge explains that dark glass and other suitable packaging help protect it from light. Leo looks at a clear bottle in the diagram and asks whether it is forbidden. “It can be protected in other ways,” Neri replies. “The complete system matters.” Curiosone points to the cap too. “Bottle and closure are materials that must be prepared and paid for. People and machines are needed to fill, close and check the packages.” Sami adds the bottle to the page about costs. Ada returns to the drop’s house and draws it smaller. Rumo follows the product information here too. The bottle carries the oil, but it must also carry forward the thread of its journey.
Let’s talk about it
Why must the bottle be suitable, protective and properly closed?
One possible answer
To hold the oil correctly and protect it, limiting light and contact with air during storage.
A little activity
Our notebook — Look at the bottle in the picture and find the cap and protection from light. Use pictures, without handling glass.
