When you're packing for a hike, camping weekend, or backpacking trip, every item has to earn its place in your bag.
A full-size bottle of olive oil may be more than you need. Individual olive oil packets for camping, hiking, and backpacking let you bring EVOO in smaller, pre-portioned amounts.
Why Bring Olive Oil Packets Outdoors?
Each Olizzi packet contains 0.34 fl oz (10 ML) of extra virgin olive oil.
That means you can pack the number of individual portions you expect to use instead of bringing an entire bottle.
The small format fits easily into a food bag, backpack, picnic basket, or camping kitchen setup.
How Many Packets Should You Pack?
There's no single number that works for every trip.
Think about how many meals you'll prepare, which meals you plan to use EVOO with, and how much olive oil you typically enjoy.
For a short day hike with one packed meal, one or two packets may be enough for your plans. A multi-day camping or backpacking trip may call for more.
Because each packet contains a known amount, planning your food supply is straightforward.
Easy Ways to Use EVOO Outdoors
Olive oil can be used with a variety of camping and hiking foods.
Drizzle it over bread, add it to vegetables, finish a prepared grain dish, use it with a sandwich, or combine it with seasonings as part of a simple camp meal.
Individual packets can also be useful with shelf-stable or dehydrated foods when you want to add your own EVOO at mealtime.
Why Individual Portions Make Sense for Backpacking
Backpacking often involves planning food by individual meals.
A pre-portioned EVOO packet fits naturally into that approach. You can assign packets to specific meals instead of estimating how much oil is left in a larger container.
It also means you only open the packet you're using at that meal.
Olizzi Premium Organic or Olizzi Classic Organic for the Trail?
Olizzi Premium Organic EVOO Packets offer a more robust, distinctive flavor profile.
Olizzi Classic Organic EVOO Packets are smoother and more delicate.
Both are organic extra virgin olive oils packaged in the same portable 0.34 fl oz (10 ML) single-serve format.
Pack What You Need — and Pack It Out
One of the simplest benefits of individual packets is flexibility.
Heading out for the afternoon? Pack a few based on your meal plan. Spending a weekend outdoors? Bring more as needed.
After using them, keep the empty packets with the rest of your trash and follow Leave No Trace principles by packing out what you pack in.
