Caring for your oil continues after you open the bottle. International Olive Council guidelines identify light, high temperatures and oxygen as factors that encourage oxidation and may affect the oil’s sensory qualities. [1]
Choose the right place
Keep your oil somewhere cool and away from light. In the kitchen, choose a closed cupboard rather than a shelf in the sun or near the hob. This simple choice reduces exposure to two unfavourable factors: light and heat.
Close the bottle again
Open the container when you need it and close it after use. Reducing contact with air helps protect the oil during storage. You can certainly bring the bottle to the table: once the meal is over, put it back in its place.
A useful little habit
Our practical tip is to give your oil a dedicated space in the cupboard. When organising your kitchen, ask yourself: is the bottle in direct light? Is it near a heat source? Does the cap close properly? Three easy checks to remember.
