Olive oil should be stored in a place where the temperature is moderate, not exceeding 14 ° C. It is best to keep it away from sources of high heat such as the oven or light.. That is why it is recommended to put it in a dark place or cover it with a black bag.
It is necessary to abandon some misconceptions, such as that olive oil increases in quality as it becomes old. In this case, the acidity level increases and the taste changes.
In order to store this oil in the right way, it is also important to put it in a container made of colored glass or stainless steel while never storing it in iron, copper or plastic containers, because this can cause toxic chemical reactions. An essential step that must also be taken is to close the package tightly.
