The correct storage of an Extra Virgin Olive Oil is essential to maintain its characteristics over time. However, the responsibility falls on both the producer and the consumer.
In our case, the oil produced is immediately stored in stainless steel tanks with nitrogen. This inert gas keeps the extra virgin olive oil in an oxygen-free environment, thus preventing its premature aging.
As we have said, properly storing Extra Virgin Olive Oil is not exclusively a producer’s task. Once brought at home, even a high-quality oil can lose its health, organoleptic and taste qualities if not stored optimally.
We know that high quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a highly beneficial food for our organism. This is especially true for oils with significant phenolic qualities, such as our Coratina variety oils. What is often overlooked is that in order to maintain these properties over time, certain storage errors must be avoided. Let’s see how:
Consequently, the best materials for storing Extra Virgin Olive Oil are those allow the oil to avoid contact with its enemies. The dark glass bottle is certainly ideal for quantities smaller than one litre, while for larger quantities we recommend the Bag in Box (read more about bag in box in our dedicated article).
In conclusion, storing Extra Virgin Olive Oil correctly requires a few but important steps. By observing these few simple rules, you can enjoy excellent EVO oil all year round.
