GustoferOlive oil cruet recommendations
I currently have/use this one and can't stand it.
It looks nice, but the cork stopper got saturated with oil and now it leaks and needs to be held in or it'll fall out when pouring. Also the spout dribbles with every use. I need to keep it setting on a plate or paper towel to keep the counter top from getting oil all over it.
I'd like something with similar looks/design, but with better functionality (doesn't leak). Willing to pay for quality.
Any recommendations?

MelissaDallasSerious Eats tested them and says OXO or else Zulay if you want dark tinted glass.

GustoferYeah, preferably something ceramic to keep out the light. Otherwise the oil will go bad quickly.

mark60The Oxo isn't the prettiest but it works fantastic. Drizzle or pour, it does not drip when you stop and it's easy to clean.

TMatsWe like recycled tequila bottles, Fortaleza, Don Fulano, Código, and 1579 bottles, all make nice olive oil bottles.

ruger357Id look for a new spout if you like the bottle.
