Recommendations for storage and preservation

1. Store the oil in clean vessels, which have no scent and in ventilated rooms. The oil has a extraordinary capacity to absorbed tastes and smells so the storage vessels must be well cleaned and scent free. It is recommended that the storage containers are washed in a strong soda or a simple wine vinegar. Because of its strong smell it is not recommended that cleaning fluid is used.
2. Avoid temperature fluctuations in the storage room: Warmth encourages oxidisation and cold weakens the oxidised substances. The oil freezes at 8 C, the optimal storage temperature is 13 C.
3. Avoid contact with light and oxygen. Oxygen and light are responsible for the oxidation process, which gives the oil an unpleasant, rancid taste. Therefore, it is recommended that the oil be stored in well sealed containers away from light.
4. Oil is a fat and ages quickly. Oil goes bad quickly and does not improve with age. It is recommended that oil be used as quickly as possible, 10-12 weeks after filling, to enjoy the full taste of the oil.
