Correct storing of extra virgin olive oil
Oxidation of oil is accelerated due to negative impact of oxygen from the air, so it is preferrable to consume it as fresh as possible. Once the bottle is opened, it is best to use it as soon as possible, so smaller bottles, e.g. those containing 250 ml are ideal. Avoid using bottles that cannot be closed properly and close the bottle immediately after use. Protect the oil from natural and artificial light choosing oils in dark glass bottles. Stainless steel containers are also good for storing oil. It is important they are of a smaller volume, filled up to the top so there is as little contact with air as possible. Plastic packaging is not suitable for storing olive oil because unpleasant flavours and smells are developed and plastic accelerates the oil deterioration. Store olive at temperatures between 14 and 18°C because higher temperatures accelerate the process of oxidation.
Cyntia Vučaj
Colour of oil is not a sign of quality
The colour of olive oil may vary from different nuances of golden- yellow, light green to dark green colour. It depends on the sort, degree of olive maturity at the moment of harvest, storing and manner of processing of olives.
