Olive Wax Jar Candle White 120x70

Olive wax has a quiet, unhurried quality to it, a slow, even burn that fills a room gradually rather than all at once. This jar candle from Germany is made entirely from olive wax, a plant-derived alternative to paraffin that produces a clean, steady flame and a soft, warm glow.

Scent and atmosphere

• The fragrance opens gently as the wax begins to melt, building in the room rather than announcing itself from across the hallway.
• The olive wax base carries scent evenly from the first burn to the last, without the sharp peaks and dips you sometimes get with harder waxes.
• The flame sits still in still air, casting a warm, amber light that softens a room in the early evening or on a grey afternoon.
• The jar itself is a simple, clean white, the kind that disappears into a shelf or a windowsill without demanding attention.

Olive wax and what it brings

Olive wax is pressed from the fruit of the olive tree, a by-product of olive oil production. It is softer than paraffin and burns at a lower temperature, which gives it a longer, more even melt pool and a cleaner soot profile. It is a renewable, plant-derived material, not a petroleum product, and it holds fragrance well without needing a heavy fragrance load to carry the scent through a room.

Burning and care

Before the first light, trim the wick to around 5 mm. Stand the candle on a heat-proof surface, a ceramic plate or a dedicated holder works well, and keep it away from draughts, curtains, and anything flammable. Never leave a burning candle unattended. For the cleanest burn and the longest life, let the melt pool reach the edge of the jar on the first use before extinguishing; this prevents tunnelling down the centre.

Made in Germany

This candle is part of the Pure Olive Wax Candle range, produced in Germany. The use of olive wax rather than paraffin or soy reflects a considered choice of material, olive cultivation has deep roots across the Mediterranean, and the wax is a natural extension of that tradition, making use of what the pressing process leaves behind.

Size and details

The jar measures 120 mm tall and 70 mm across, and the filled candle weighs 482 g. It arrives as a single jar candle, ready to use.

A considered gift

It suits anyone who keeps candles burning through the colder months, or who appreciates a well-made object on a desk or mantelpiece. The clean white jar and the olive wax provenance make it a thoughtful, understated gift for a housewarming, a birthday, or simply as something to give a home a little more warmth.

Common questions

Is olive wax different from soy or paraffin?
Yes. Olive wax comes from olive fruit rather than soybean oil or petroleum. It is plant-derived and renewable, burns at a relatively low temperature, and tends to produce a clean, even melt pool. It is softer than paraffin and has a slightly different texture to soy.

Does the candle come with a lid?
The verified product details do not confirm a lid, if keeping the candle dust-free between uses matters to you, a small plate placed over the jar works well once the wax has fully cooled and set.

How do I stop it tunnelling?
Allow the melt pool to reach the full diameter of the jar on the first burn before putting it out. Olive wax has a good melt pool, but the first burn sets the pattern for every burn after it.
