The container is integrated with an injection-moulded polypropylene (PP) lid made by RPC Bramlage.

Both the container and lid feature a warm terracotta colour, while the lid is embossed with decorative details and the Garbit logo.

In addition, the container can be taken directly from oven to table and is protected with a layer of ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH).

The EVOH offers an effective protection against oxygen ingress to deliver a shelf life of 18 months.
