Conservation tips for your Altanza EVOO
We must always remember that olive oil is a living, fresh product, such as bread or cheese. Therefore, from the moment the olive leaves the tree, oxidation and / or fermentation processes begin. It is normal, and it is in fact what makes good EVOOs grind just a few hours after the fruit is picked.
That said, the main enemies of your Highness are light, heat, and oxygen. We must therefore keep the bottles in a cool and dark place, and well closed. Let’s think that every time we open the bottle to serve ourselves, we renew the oxygen inside.
Therefore, once opened, it does not take us more than a couple of weeks to consume it. And for this reason also, we must avoid large formats, unless we are a large family or a community. Let’s not buy oils on the shelves for the same reason, since they have been mercilessly exposed for hours and days in the light of the premises … 🙁
