So it lasts longer and keeps its amazing taste
Extra virgin olive oil is a living product.
It's full of flavor and health benefits β but it's also delicate.
If you donβt store it properly, it can lose everything that makes it special.
Hereβs how to store it the right way π
βοΈ Keep it away from light
Light causes oxidation and damages the oil.
βοΈ Store it in a dark place
βοΈ Use dark glass or stainless steel bottles
π‘οΈ Avoid heat
Heat speeds up the aging of olive oil.
β No kitchen counters near the stove
β No sunny shelves
βοΈ Ideal: cool, dark pantry (14β18Β°C)
π¨ Minimize air contact
Air = oxidation = lost flavor and nutrients
βοΈ Always close the cap
β Donβt leave the bottle open
βοΈ Avoid long-term use of open pourers
𧴠Never store EVOO in plastic
Plastic can affect the oil (especially in warm conditions).
βοΈ Use glass, ceramic or steel only
β Extra tips
β’ Use smaller bottles if you donβt cook often
β’ If you pour into a cruet, refill it from a sealed dark bottle
β’ Use the oil within 12β18 months for best quality
