Olive Oil Dipping Bowls for Restaurant Bread and Table Service
The format of an olive oil dipping plate differs from a standard condiment bowl in that it requires a wider, shallower profile so the bread can be dipped cleanly and the oil surface is visible to the guest. A narrow deep condiment bowl works for sauce service. For olive oil, the wider shallow format is more functional and more considered as a presentation. The oil surface picks up light from above, which reads differently in a shallow wide piece than in a deep narrow one. A well-made olive oil dipping dish in bespoke glass amplifies this quality.

Olive oil dipping plates suit the widest surface area. Olive oil dipping dishes in a slightly deeper format suit thicker oils and condiments. Both formats are available in bespoke glass in the same custom colour and finish as the full dinnerware programme. Browse sibling range: glass dessert bowls.
Olive Oil Dipping Plates and Dishes in Bespoke Designer Glass
Glass olive oil dipping bowls are non-porous and do not absorb oil into the surface the way unglazed ceramic does. After a service cycle, a ceramic dipping bowl often retains an oil residue that affects the flavour of the next presentation. A glass bowl comes out of the dishwasher clean every time. For a hotel restaurant presenting premium olive oils as part of the bread service, that consistency matters. The olive oil dipping plate and olive oil dipping dish formats are both available in non-porous glass for exactly this reason. Custom printing available. Browse sibling range: shallow bowls.
