Store your olive oil in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight, and keep the bottle tightly sealed between uses.

Unopened bottles stay at their best for roughly two years, but once opened, the freshest flavor and aroma are enjoyed within a few months.

If you prefer using a cruet, choose a dark, airtight one and refill it with small amounts at a time to protect the oil from light and air.
