Fido — Bormioli Rocco

The Fido collection by Bormioli Rocco is the benchmark for hermetic glass jars: clip-top lid, sealing gasket, formats from one litre up to 5 litres. An essential range for storage, homemade preserves, decorative jars and dry-ingredient pantry storage.

The Fido specificity

The Fido jar works with a metal swing-top system and a rubber gasket that ensures the airtight seal. Thick glass, round or square formats according to use, the Fido is designed for sterilising preserves (jams, vegetables, terrines) as well as storing flours, sugars, rice, pasta or granolas in the kitchen.

• Thick Bormioli Rocco glass, metal swing-top lid
• Replaceable rubber gasket (90 mm, sold in sets of 6)
• Round (4 L, 5 L) and square (1.5 L, 3 L) formats to suit each need

Choosing within the Fido collection

Why is the Fido collection iconic?

Because the Fido jar is one of the world standards for home preserving: its swing-top system and rubber gasket ensure a reliable airtight seal, compatible with sterilising. Bormioli Rocco has been making it for decades with the same thick Italian glass, which withstands sterilising heat and the pressure of repeated use.

Round or square jar: which to choose?

The round jars (4 L, 5 L) are the traditional shape for preserves (jams, vegetables, terrines). The square jars (1.5 L, 3 L) optimise shelf storage and are particularly suited to storing flours, sugars, rice, pasta or granolas in the kitchen.

Can the gasket be replaced?

Yes, and this is a strength of the Fido: Bormioli Rocco offers replacement gaskets in sets of 6 (90 mm diameter) to extend the jar's life when the original gasket loses elasticity. This avoids discarding a perfectly good jar.

Is the Fido jar suitable for sterilising?

Yes, this is one of its historic uses. To sterilise, place the filled, closed jars in a steriliser or a large pan of boiling water, respecting the times and temperatures of the recipe. The gasket and swing-top let excess pressure escape during cooking, then reseal airtight on cooling.
