Storage advice
For optimal storage of olive oil:
- Temperature: Store between 13°C and 25°C (55°F to 77°F) ideally around 57°F to 65°F. Cooler storage around 6°C (43°F) can slow oxidation but may cause cloudiness or solidification which is reversible when returned to room temperature.
- Light Exposure: Keep the oil in a dark place to avoid light-induced degradation. Use dark-colored glass bottles and avoid direct sunlight or bright artificial light.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to minimize oxygen exposure which accelerates oxidation. After opening consume within 1 to 3 months for best quality.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright to reduce the surface area exposed to air inside the bottle and limit oxidation.
- Humidity: Humidity is less critical; however store in a normal dry environment to avoid potential label damage and maintain packaging integrity.
- Additional Tips: Avoid storing near heat sources like stoves radiators or windows. Refrigeration is acceptable for extending shelf life but may cause temporary changes in appearance without affecting quality. If sediment forms (natural for some oils) decanting is recommended to maintain original quality.
For unopened bottles keep sealed and stored at ideal temperature and light conditions to preserve freshness up to 2 years or more. For opened bottles reseal tightly and store as above consuming preferably within a few months to avoid rancidity.
