Expert Review and  Insights

The Olympia P495 is one of those items that doesn’t need to shout about how good it is. It's a foundational piece of kitchen kit that’s all about reliability.

Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The metal clasp is very strong, providing a really satisfying and  secure closure.
  • Con: Being all glass, it’s naturally much heavier than plastic alternatives when full.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Cornish Larder, a popular delicatessen in Penzance, needed a storage solution that was both practical for their homemade chutneys and  stylish enough for front-of-house display shelving. They switched from a mix of plastic tubs to uniform Olympia glass jars.

"These jars are brilliant. They look the part on our shelves and  we know our products inside are kept perfectly fresh. Customers often comment on how lovely they look, which has definitely helped draw them in."

David Williams – Owner, The Cornish Larder

Since making the change, they have virtually eliminated spoilage on their ambient goods and  increased sales of their jarred preserves by over 15%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Wash the jar, lid, and  rubber seal thoroughly in warm, soapy water before first use.
  • Ensure the rubber seal is correctly and  evenly seated within the groove on the glass lid.
  • Check that the metal clip mechanism moves freely and  applies firm, even pressure when closed.
  • Dry thoroughly before filling with any dry ingredients to prevent clumping.

Keeping It Going

  • The glass jar is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning between uses.
  • To prolong its life, we recommend hand-washing the rubber seal and  metal clip.
  • Avoid using abrasive scouring pads that could scratch the glass surface.
  • Periodically inspect the rubber seal for any signs of cracking or perishing and  replace if necessary.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Storage Jars

Not sure which storage solution is the best fit for your kitchen? Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Check Your Shelf Space

First things first, measure your shelving. Taller jars like this are fantastic for bulk storage but need enough vertical clearance to be practical.

The Importance of the Seal

For wet preserves, fermented foods, or anything you need to keep bone dry, a clip-top airtight seal is essential. For things like pasta or utensils, a simple push-fit lid might do the job.

Material Matters

Glass is brilliant as it's non-porous (no stains or smells!) and  you can see what's inside. Its only downside is its weight. Plastic is lighter but can degrade or hold odours over time.

Easy to Clean?

A wide mouth, like the 115mm opening on this jar, makes a world of difference. It allows for easy scooping and  makes getting a sponge inside for a proper clean a breeze.

Aesthetics and  Display

If your storage will be on display, a uniform set of classic glass jars looks professional, tidy, and  inviting for customers. It shows you care about quality right down to the details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the jar dishwasher safe?

A: The main glass jar is perfectly safe for the dishwasher. However, to keep them in top condition for longer, we recommend you hand-wash the rubber seal and  metal clip assembly.

Q: How much does a 3 litre jar actually hold?

A: It holds 3 litres of liquid (107oz). For dry goods, this varies by density, but as a guide, it will comfortably hold around 1.5kg of plain flour or 2kg of sugar.

Q: Is the seal genuinely airtight?

A: Absolutely. The combination of the rubber ring and  the strong metal lever clip creates a secure, airtight seal that's ideal for preserving food and  keeping dry goods from spoiling.

Q: What is the jar made of?

A: It's made from high-quality, durable glass that is non-porous, meaning it won't absorb food odours, flavours, or stains.

Q: Can I use this for hot liquids or pressure canning?

A: This glass storage jar with clip lid is designed for storing cool or ambient temperature goods. You should avoid exposing it to sudden, extreme temperature changes (thermal shock).

Q: Are replacement rubber seals available?

A: Yes, replacement seals for this style of clip top jar are widely available, allowing you to maintain a perfect seal for years to come.

Q: What is the diameter of the mouth opening?

A: The top opening has a wide 115mm diameter, which makes it very easy to fill, empty, and  clean by hand.

Q: Is the glass completely clear or tinted?

A: The glass is perfectly clear, giving you an excellent view of the contents so you can identify them and  check stock levels in an instant.

What Customers Are Saying

Mark L. – The Spelt & Spindle Bakery

"This is a really good quality, large glass preserving jar 3L. A bit heavy when full, but that's to be expected with glass. The clip is very strong and  gives a great seal."

Chloe R. – Cardiff

"Perfect for our hotel pantry. We store cereals and  grains in them and  they look so much tidier and  more professional than boxes. Very happy with the purchase."

What Makes an Airtight Glass Container So Effective?

The secret to keeping your food fresh lies in the simple but ingenious mechanics of the clip-top seal. It’s all about leverage and  pressure. Think of it like a lever on a see-saw. When you press down on the metal clip, it acts as a lever, forcing the glass lid down onto the flexible rubber ring. This pressure squashes the ring, creating a complete, unbroken barrier that stops air from getting in and  moisture from getting out. This simple mechanical lock is what keeps your pickles crunchy and  your flour from going off, preserving flavour and  texture far better than a simple screw-top lid ever could.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Artisan Coffee Shops: For beautifully displaying whole coffee beans, sugars, or counter-top biscuits for customers.
  • Busy Delicatessens: An ideal and  hygienic way to hold olives, sun-dried tomatoes, or other deli counter staples.
  • Village Bakeries & Patisseries: A perfect, stylish container for bulk dry ingredients like flour, sugar, and  oats.
  • Zero-Waste & Farm Shops: A fantastic commercial clip top storage jar for customers to fill with loose grains, pulses, and  pastas.
