How to Store Olive Oil Properly to Keep It Fresh

Introduction

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is best enjoyed when it’s fresh, aromatic, and

full of flavor. However, if stored incorrectly, it can lose its quality over time. To get the most out of Oro di Milas cold extracted EVOO, here are some essential storage tips.

1. Keep Away from Light

Olive oil is sensitive to light. Prolonged exposure can cause oxidation, leading to a flat or rancid taste. Always choose dark glass bottles and store them in a cupboard away from direct sunlight.

2. Control the Temperature

The ideal storage temperature for EVOO is between 14–18°C (57–64°F). Avoid storing near stoves, ovens, or windows where heat fluctuates.

3. Seal It Tightly

Air exposure speeds up oxidation. After each use, make sure the cap is tightly closed to maintain freshness.

4. Avoid Plastic Containers

Plastic can interact with olive oil over time. High-quality EVOO should always be kept in dark glass or stainless steel containers.

Conclusion

Proper storage is the key to preserving the rich aroma and health benefits of cold extracted EVOO. With a little care, every drop of Oro di Milas will taste as fresh as the day it was bottled.
