Because how you store it really makes the different.
, she says, it's how you store it once you get home that really makes the difference when it comes to preserving its flavor and quality. Here's what she suggests:Light, air, and heat all contribute to the degradation of olive oil, she notes, particularly oxygen. The moment you open a bottle of olive oil , oxygen starts flooding it, and the degradation process begins. That's why Hirschbein suggests using up a bottle of olive oil within a month or two of opening it.
Hirschbein assured me that if you're plowing through olive oil quickly in your kitchen, storing it next to the stove is not the worst thing you can do—in fact she also keeps her everyday cooking oil right by her stove, in a ceramic cruet with a pour spout. But she stores her specialty extra virgin olive oils, which she uses to finish a dish, in a dark cupboard away from the stove..
I really love having a pour spout on my bottle of olive oil—it just makes swirling it into a skillet so much easier—but I was worried it might let too much air in. Fortunately Hirschbein says that the amount of air that gets in through the small opening of the pour spout is not any worse than the amount of air that gets in every time you open your bottle of olive oil.
