Storing Extra Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Posted January 10th, 2012.

Extra extra virgin olive oil is the best type of olive oil for salads, breads and sandwiches. For cooking and frying, you can use regular olive oil, but extra extra virgin olive oil has a better taste and is ideal for applying directly to fresh foods. To keep the fine taste and smell of extra extra virgin olive oil, it is important to store it correctly. It is better not to keep in the refrigerator because the condensation that forms inside the bottle can affect its flavor. The bottle should be tightly sealed and kept in a dark cabinet that stays consistently at room temperature. If properly stored, extra extra virgin olive oil lasts and will always be available for all of your fine dining while retaining its original smell and flavor.
