Make Olio 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 — Transfer the oil to an airtight container and freeze. 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 Olio 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
Since this is a sealed, shelf-stable oil, both UK and US guidelines treat it as having an indefinite shelf life once opened, provided it is stored correctly.
Check before eating
Look
Cloudiness or visible sediment buildup may indicate degradation, though this is not always spoilage.
Smell
A rancid, sharp, or metallic odor is the primary indicator that the oil has oxidized and is unsafe for consumption.
Texture
The texture should remain liquid; separation or excessive viscosity changes are usually due to temperature, not spoilage.
Freezing
Yes. Transfer the oil to an airtight container and freeze. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator.
