Storage skills of olive oil
1, avoid direct sunlight and high temperature: sunlight and high temperature will accelerate the oxidation process of olive oil and lead to the decline of oil quality. Therefore, olive oil should be stored in a cool and dark place or in a dark glass bottle.
2. Keep dry: water will promote the fermentation and oxidation of olive oil, so make sure there is no water in olive oil. If you find sediment or turbidity in olive oil, you should filter it out.
3. Avoid contact with odorous items: odorous items will pollute the taste of olive oil, so contact between olive oil and odorous items should be avoided.
