Make Fior Di Olivo last the full window

Do

  • Refrigerate promptly after each use, at 5°C / 40°F or below.
  • Use a clean utensil every time you take a portion.
  • Keep it sealed — the original lid or an airtight container.
  • Freeze it before the window closes if you will not finish it — Transfer the oil to an airtight container and freeze. Allow to thaw slowly in the refrigerator.

Don't

  • Leave it out on the counter while cooking or serving.
  • Double-dip or return unused portions to the container.
  • Store it in the fridge door if you open the fridge often — it is the warmest spot.
  • Taste it to "test" safety. If in doubt, throw it out.

Where this guidance comes from

The Fior Di Olivo window blends official US food-safety guidance with typical manufacturer opened-storage instructions. The label on your specific product always wins if it is stricter.

Storage note

As a sealed cooking oil, both UK and US guidelines treat this as having a very long shelf life, provided it is stored correctly.

Check before eating

Look

Visual spoilage is rare, but cloudiness or separation of layers may indicate degradation.

Smell

A rancid, musty, or overly pungent odor is the primary indicator of oil spoilage.

Texture

The texture should remain liquid; excessive sediment or solidifying (if cooled) is normal, but cloudiness is a concern.

Freezing

Yes. Transfer the oil to an airtight container and freeze. Allow to thaw slowly in the refrigerator.
