1. A system for introducing an additive into a container, the system comprising an automated device for transporting the container along a trajectory in a horizontal plane, the system further comprising a static microdoser having a nozzle from which a jet of the additive issues upon passage of an opening of the container in proximity to the nozzle to introduce the additive into said container, and
the nozzle of the static microdoser is inclined relative to a direction orthogonal to said horizontal plane, wherein the nozzle of the static microdoser is inclined such that the jet of the additive enters into the container through the opening and hits a lateral inner wall of said container,
wherein the container is partially filled with a main liquid material before introduction of the additive, and wherein the lateral inner wall hit by the jet of the additive is situated above a free surface of the main liquid material.
