I have a hand made copper olive oil can and it now has verdigris on the inside. Any advice on how to clean

My understanding is that you should avoid storing olive oil in containers made of iron or copper as those metals are reactive with the oil and can cause undesireable effects in aroma and taste.  I've had professionals caution me that the reaction caused by the copper can result in the creation of toxins and that copper is to be avoided at all costs.
