The storage of olive oil in glass bottles
is an ideal solution in order to retain its natural character
for several months, especially if the bottle is dark in color.
Olive oil is sensitive to light oxidations, which speeds up when
its coloring substances come in contact with sunlight, room
light, even light from fluorescent lamps. For this reason, if
the bottle is transparent, it should be kept in a dark place.
Ideal storage temperature is believed to be 10-15° Celsius.
ATTENTION:
Olive
oil should not come into contact with metal, especially copper
and iron. These metals speed up the process of acidic
deterioration of the product. Storage is allowed only in non-oxidising
metal containers.
