Extra Virgin Olive Oil is one of our Mediterranean diet pleasures, thus we are here to explain the best way to preserve the EVOO so it can maintain its properties.
Avoid high temperatures
One of the most common mistakes is leaving the EVOO near the stove of the kitchen to have it on hand every time we cook. That’s a big mistake! The EVOO should be kept in a cool and dry place, away from temperature changes.
If you want to keep your oil in the best conditions for as long as possible, the best way to do is by keeping it away from direct sunlight by storing it inside a cupboard.
Be careful with direct sun exposure
We know that having good lighting when cooking is of vital importance, so having a kitchen with good illumination might be essential for many people. However, keep in mind that it shouldn’t get direct sun exposure if we want to preserve it in the best conditions.
The solution is very simple: every time we are not using it, we should put it away in a cupboard. This way you shouldn’t have any problems with it.
Keep its original bottle
The original bottle of any EVOO has the best conditions for its conservation. Sometimes we move it to other oil bottles to make its consumption easier even though that is not ideal.
If it is necessary to do so you can, keeping in mind a few things:
- Use a glass or ceramic bottle.
- Ensure that it is an airtight bottle to avoid the oil from oxidising.
