How to Store your Olive Oil?

  • Olive Oils can be kept on average for 18 months after pressing.
  • Keep bottles sealed tightly to prevent oxidation.
  • Do not store in direct sun, as the UV rays will damage the oil.
  • Store in a cool, dark place (don’t store olive oil near your oven: the higher temperatures promote faster degradation of the oil).
  • Refrigeration, while not harmful, is not necessary and may make olive oil cloudy and thick. Should this happen, the oil is perfectly fine; just leave the oil at room temperature for a time to restore it to its natural state.
  • Properly stored, olive oil can keep for at least two years.
