It’s no secret how much Kitchn editors love Brightland olive oil . We featured the founder, Aishwarya Iyer , back in 2018 and we’ve waxed poetic about her liquid gold ever since. We even included it as a must-have in our most recent grocery edition of Kitchn Essentials . And we were giddy over the Brightland candle , which launched in April. I personally always have at least one bottle of the olive oil on hand at any given time, and have bought at least a few dozen over the years.

I use it as intended: as a finishing oil. I turn it into salad dressing, drizzle it on top of avocado toast, use it to fill up a mini swimming pool for slices of rustic bread to take a dip in, etc. I love it so much. Each and every “flavor” — there are two staples and special editions that pop up from time to time, and they’re always bold, and peppery, and surprising, and perfect.

My one complaint, if I had to file one: The bottle drips a little when I’m trying to wrap up my pour. It’s never a lot, but this stuff is precious and I hate to waste even a little. Plus, the drips make the bottle all oily and I have to wipe it down, which just makes for one more thing I have to clean.

If you’re wondering why I don’t just buy a decanter with a spout , I have answers. For starters, the Brightland bottle is super pretty and I love leaving it out on my counter! Also, the company now offers a Spout and it’s solved all my olive oil-related problems!

Made to fit all regular-sized Brightland bottles, The Spout has a rubber stopper cork that pops in snuggly and doesn’t leak. Inside, there’s a straw, which makes for a super-smooth pour (no accidentally dumping out a tablespoon when you just need a drizzle!) and the lid protects the oil. I just tilt the bottle and out comes a slow, even pour. I tilt it back up and the stream stops. No drips!

The Spout has majorly upgraded my olive oil experience and it’s no surprise: I have a very similar setup for my dish soap .

If you don’t have Brightland olive oil, I highly recommend it. And if you have the same drip problem that I was having, you can buy similar spouts (and decanting bottles !) to use with whatever brand you happen to stock in your kitchen.

Have you tried Brightland’s olive oil yet?
