Keep Your Olive Oil From Spoiling With These Tips for Proper Storage
Olive oil is perfect for everyday cooking, but if you have really good olive oil to use for dipping and whatnot, you probably won’t use it as often. You can extend its shelf life by storing it properly.
If you use a lot of olive oil for cooking, you might be tempted to put it right next to the stove. While this may be fine for cheap items that you use up quickly, Kelly Dunn of The Kitchn suggests you try storing your expensive olive oil elsewhere:
Olive oil has three enemies: oxygen, light and heat . These elements will make the oil rancid faster … Olive oil should be stored in a cool, dry, dark cabinet , away from heat and light.
It is also helpful to put in a dark colored bottle that barely lets in light, or even a stainless steel container. It’s also important to make sure your container has a proper lid or lid to prevent oxygen from slowly degrading the oil. These storage tips work with any olive oil, but are especially suitable for fancy or infused varieties. If you want good things , you can do whatever you can to protect them.
