Preservation the positive characteristic of olive oil during the period between production and consumption is important. Proper packaging is essential in order to avoid quality degradation before consumption.

In this paper, the migration of substances and the flavor scalping of olive oil has been investigated and the advantages and disadvantages of the various types of packaging at the wholesale and retail levels including stainless steel, glass, tin plate, plastic (mainly polyethylene terephthalate), composite (bag in box and multi-layer packaging) and disposable sachets and the use of active packaging potential in the future of this industry were discussed.
