Storage advice
For optimal storage of extra virgin olive oil:
- Temperature: Store between 60°F and 70°F (15°C to 21°C) ideally around 65°F. Avoid heat sources such as stoves or ovens since high or fluctuating temperatures accelerate quality deterioration.
- Light Exposure: Keep the oil in a dark environment away from direct sunlight and artificial bright light. Ultraviolet rays degrade antioxidants and flavor. If the bottle is clear or lightly tinted store it inside a dark cupboard or pantry.
- Sealing & Container: Use airtight dark glass or opaque metal tins to minimize oxygen exposure which causes oxidation and rancidity. Make sure the bottle cap or lid is tightly sealed after each use to reduce contact with air.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright to limit the surface area exposed to oxygen inside the container.
- Humidity: Store in a dry place. Excess moisture does not directly affect olive oil but can compromise bottle labeling and encourage mold on caps or corks. Keeping it dry prevents these issues.
- Special Tips: For unopened bottles keep them in original dark containers stored in cool dark places. After opening reseal immediately and aim to use the oil within a few months for best quality since exposure to air and light begins to degrade it even if stored correctly.
Overall a cool dark cupboard away from heat and light sources with the bottle sealed tightly and stored upright is best for preserving the quality and shelf life of extra virgin olive oil.
