Should olive oil be kept in the refrigerator?

You can, but it doesn't have to be refrigerated.








Olive Oil Storage Temperature





Many people ask about the proper storage temperature for olive oil. Heat speeds up all of the above reactions. Keeping your oil next to the stove in a clear bottle will quickly age it. Better to keep a large container in a dark, cool cupboard and pour a small amount into a dispenser for everyday use. Olive oil can be put into the refrigerator or freezer without harm, which will greatly extend its shelf life. Waxes in the oil may crystallize out into needles or a slurry when the oil is chilled. Warming the oil back to room temperature will re-liquefy it.Should olive oil be kept in the refrigerator?
never heard of anyone doing that..Should olive oil be kept in the refrigerator?
Never! It'll absorb the flavors of everything else, and it will also turn solid.
NO





Just keep it in the cupboard.





Constant temperature changes when removing it from/putting it in the fridge will affect it, it may also pick up taints from other things stored in the fridge if not properly sealed.
you can - but I keep mine right out on the counter. Never had a problem
I store it in the fridge after about a month.
don't have to
No, i keep mine in the cubbard or beside my stove...then again i use mine frequently so...
Store the oil in its original glass bottle with lid tightly capped, and keep it in a cool place away from the light, like your pantry... not in cabinets near the stove.... Try to buy it in an amount that you are likely to use up within 2-3 months.





Virgin olive oil has a lower acidity than other olive oils. Oil from second and subsequent pressings has some fruit pulp in it and burns more readily. Virgin or extra-virgin is best for cooking...other olive oils, which do have more flavor, are best for salads and uncooked dishes.





Enjoy!
there's no need to. if you do, v o o will not harden or soilidify, but the cool temp won't help your cooking time. just keep it in a sealed container at room temp if it won't be used for quite a while. just to ad lib, reports have it that there are benefits in taking a spoonful of v o o daily
4 enemies of olive oil:


air, heat, light and time.





Once open, the olive oil will begin to oxidize, losing its subtle, fresh flavors. Store in a cool, dark place preferrably the cupboard. Only buy what you will use in 4 - 6 weeks.
That is not necessary
absolutely not, it will harden!
Never keep olive oil in the fridge. The texture of the oil will change. Olive oil should always be stored at room temperature.
I keep it the refrigerator in a tightly sealed bottle to prevent it from going rancid. If you buy small bottles and use them within 2-3 months, it is not necessary. However if you live in a warm climate, refrigeration may always be a good idea.
. if the bottle doesn't say refrigerate after opening . then No.
No, it coagulates. Under the kitchen cabinet away from any heat is good for two months or so. Never buy olive oil in quantities that will last longer for you, olive oil should never be opened more than three months. Even if you keep it in the refrigerator it may not get rancid, but it will have lost much of it's flavor!
no, leave it at room temp
No, the shelf life is long.
Nope!
I have never kept mine in the fridge. I generally buy smaller bottles and they don't last long.
NO, NEVER!!





It will not keep it fresher nor will it improve the flavor. It might thicken up and thats not good
Many people keep olive oil in the refigerator thinking that it will extend its shelf life or in order to avoid it to get rancid....this is ONE OF THE WORSE PLACES to keep it !!


Most of the time you can find bottles without harvest and expiration date...that should be the first thing to care of buying your bottle of olive oil at the grocery store rather than thinking how to preserve it later!! How can we think about extending its shelf life if we don't even know when it was produced?!?


Bottles of olive oil should not be refrigerated because condensation can occur on the lid and drip water back into the oil, which could spoil the oil鈥檚 flavor and cause rancidity.


The secret then is to keep it just at room temperature and away from the direct light and use it and be sure to buy a bottle where I can read the date of production or at least the expiration date.


Once the bottle is open it will last two-three months with no problem if it is a good product.
