What that means

Use this as a planning window, then check the real-world spoilage signs below before eating.
Make Olio Di Semi Di Girasole 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 — Pour into an airtight container and freeze. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator before use.
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 Olio Di Semi Di Girasole 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
Both the UK and US generally consider high-quality cooking oils stable for extended periods when stored correctly, though rancidity is the primary concern over time.
Check before eating
Look
The oil may develop a noticeable yellowing or cloudiness, especially if exposed to light.
Smell
The most critical sign is a strong, sharp, or 'crayon-like' odor, indicating rancidity.
Texture
The texture should remain uniform; separation or visible sediment is usually due to storage issues, not spoilage.
Freezing
Yes. Pour into an airtight container and freeze. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator before use.
