A cruet set gathers the four things that belong together at a table or beside a hob: an oil jar, a vinegar jar, a salt shaker and a pepper shaker. Having them as one matched set rather than four separate bottles is the difference between a counter that looks arranged and one covered in branded packaging. Ceramic is the right material for oil in particular, because it blocks light — and light is what turns good olive oil rancid faster than air does, which is why serious oil is sold in dark bottles. The set suits daily cooking, a dressed dining table and a serving station, and it makes a sensible gift for a new kitchen.

Buying guide
Decant only what you will use within a few weeks. Oil deteriorates once exposed to air and light, so refilling a small cruet from a sealed bottle keeps it fresher than leaving a large bottle half full for months. Wash and dry cruets thoroughly before refilling, since old oil residue turns rancid and taints fresh oil. Keep them away from the hob: heat is the third enemy of cooking oil after light and air. Wipe the pouring lip after use to stop drips forming a sticky ring, and check shaker holes are clear before filling.
How it compares
Against the original bottles, a cruet set makes a counter or table look considered and protects oil from light. Against glass cruets, ceramic blocks light better but hides the level. For very frequent cooking, keep the large bottle in a cupboard and refill the cruet.
