From the supermarket to the table,\nbut also to the restaurant, here’s what to pay attention to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 – Darkness is the best friend of the oil<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Excess lighting affects the quality of extra virgin olive oil. Prevent the oil bottle from being exposed directly to the sun or any type of artificial light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2 – Keep it cool<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Temperature is essential to maintain\nthe properties and taste of the oil. The ideal is to preserve the precious\n“green gold” at a temperature neither too hot nor too cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3 – Watch out for air currents<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is always a good idea to close, carefully, the cap after use, in order to avoid the danger of oxidation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4 – Watch the deadline<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n On each bottle the date on which it\nis preferable to consume oil (12-18 months) is always indicated. Usually\nconsumption date cannot exceed 24 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5 – Far from impregnating odors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all fats, the oil works a bit like a sponge. It is therefore good to keep it away from cans of paint, very fragrant detergents, local with mold or saturated with smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6 – If put outside the home, pay attention to the container<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Old olive oil cruets are prohibited\nby law, in favor of bottles with anti-refill caps. A bottle pack of dark glass\nis the preferred one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7 \u2013 Pay attention to an abnormal color <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The oil can be of various shades ranging from golden yellow to bright green, but it cannot be red-orange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TECHNICAL INSTRUCTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For a proper conservation, you need\nto follow some precautions, which should be taken to avoid damaging EVO,\nespecially if organic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order not to alter its\nnutraceutical potential, it should be remembered that both EVOO (organic EVO)\nand EVO is very demanding and prefer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 To be stored at a temperature between 14 and 18 degrees<\/strong>; while, it does not tolerate high temperatures or near or below zero;<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 To be kept in small (maximum 500 milliliters) well-closed containers<\/strong>, always clean, of glass (opaque or dark), porcelain or stainless steel, in cool places and away from aromatic contamination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Although tin is a good compromise\nfor short periods, food grade plastic should never be used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please, do not put EVO in contact with oxygen<\/strong> and for this reason do not let it remain for a long time in empty containers, even if hermetically sealed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 4.7.2019 ALL THE TIPS TO CONSERVE OLIVE OIL From the supermarket to the table, but also to the restaurant, here’s what to pay attention to. 1 – Darkness is the best friend of the oil Excess lighting affects the quality of extra virgin olive oil.
