"Verte" news and stories

Oil is a wonderful necessity in the kitchen, but it's always plagued with those pesky drippings that waste oil and make a big ol' mess.

However, Noro (a Barcelona-based designer) has cooked up a new bottle system called Verte, which offers a two-lip cap system, like you can see above. The oil or liquid pours from the inner lip, and excess is caught by the outer lip. But don't let it steal your hearts just yet -- it's only in the design stage right now, and there's a serious downside to this.

Unless you keep your bottles in a well-sealed area, or they come with tops, you'll soon have a mess on your hands. The bottle might stay clean, but that space between the lips will get filthy, and who wants oil to be recycled by passing through a dirty and dusty second lip? The oil would remain on that lip, dust would cling to it in no time, and there goes your perfect system.
