For optimal storage of Olive Oil maintain the following conditions:

- Temperature: Keep between 60°F and 75°F (15°C to 24°C) ideally around 65°F (18°C). Avoid heat sources such as stoves or ovens to prevent accelerated degradation.

- Light Exposure: Store in a dark opaque container (dark green glass tin or UV-protected bottle) to minimize exposure to ultraviolet rays which speed up rancidity. Avoid clear glass or transparent containers. Keep the bottle in a cupboard or pantry away from direct or ambient light especially sunlight.

- Sealing: Use airtight bottles or containers to limit oxygen exposure which oxidizes and deteriorates the oil. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent air ingress.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright to minimize the surface area exposed to oxygen inside the container and avoid leakage.

- Humidity: Keep the storage area dry to prevent moisture contamination which can affect the oil quality.

- Additional Tips: For unopened bottles store in a cool dark cupboard away from light and heat. Once opened consume within a few months for best quality keeping the bottle tightly sealed and stored under the same conditions to slow oxidation.
