It’s a minor annoyance but one that can be easily avoided: pilling olive oil on your dining table and your counter when all you need is a little drizzle. Not only is it annoying but it’s also wasteful and makes for more clean-up.
Plus, when you have an unreliable cap on your olive oil dispenser, you always run the risk of dumping the whole container out accidentally. A good olive oil dispenser isn’t too hard to find so why not shore up your kitchen? Take a look at the best no drip olive oil dispensers.
Auto Flip Olive Oil Dispenser Bottle
Editors’ Choice: 4.8 out of 5.0 stars
Gravity assists this olive oil dispenser. As long as there is olive oil in the container, all you have to do is tilt it and the little spout will open up and pour out a steady stream of olive oil. When you’re done, all you have to do is put it back upright and it closes up on it’s own.
The best part is that the lid closes up on it’s own but doesn’t create a dribble of olive oil that runs down the front. It’s a clean pour, a clean close and a cleaner kitchen. This bottle is made of glass and the handle is made from BPA-free plastic.

No Drip Olive Oil Dispenser Buying Guide
You may think all olive oil dispensers are the same but if you are looking for the absolute best no drip olive oil dispenser, look out for some key features:
Thick Glass
Glass is a good material for these kinds of dispensers but a lot of manufacturers cheap out on the glass quality. Make sure your dispenser has thick glass which will be an indicator of longevity.
Silicone Seals
Some manufacturers are still making rubber stoppers. Silicone is not only more sanitary; it also creates a tighter seal.
Avoid Plastic
Plastic isn’t necessarily bad for olive oil dispensers but plastic will be harder to clean than glass.
