- Olive Oil Dessert Garnish: Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over vanilla or citrus gelato topped with crunchy sea salt flakes and a few cracked pink peppercorns for a balanced sweet-savory combo.

- Serving Temperature Tip: Keep olive oil at cool room temperature (around 18–20°C) for ideal pourability and flavor release avoiding refrigeration that clouds and hardens the oil.

For optimal storage of olive oil in a tin container (such as 500cl) keep the following conditions:

- Temperature: Store at a cool stable temperature ideally between 60°F and 75°F (15°C to 24°C). Avoid heat sources like stoves or ovens to prevent accelerated degradation.

- Light exposure: Keep the tin in a dark place away from direct sunlight and ultraviolet light which can degrade quality. A cupboard or pantry is recommended to minimize light exposure since even indirect light can cause rancidity.

- Sealing: Ensure the tin is tightly sealed when not in use to minimize oxygen exposure which accelerates oxidation and rancidity. After opening reseal promptly.

- Bottle position: Store the tin upright to avoid any leakage and to preserve the integrity of the seal.

- Humidity: Store in a dry environment as moisture can compromise the container and potentially affect the oil’s quality though humidity is less critical than temperature light and oxygen.

- Special tips: Since the product is in a tin (which offers good protection from light and oxygen) it is well suited for storage as long as the tin remains sealed and stored in cool dark conditions. After opening use within a reasonably short period (few months) to maintain freshness keeping the tin tightly closed between uses. Avoid storing near strong odors as olive oil can absorb smells.

These measures will help preserve the quality flavor and shelf life of olive oil both before and after opening.
