Have you ever wondered if your bottle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) can spoil? The short answer: YES! But don’t worry—if stored properly, your EVOO will stay fresh and flavorful for a long time.
Signs Your Olive Oil is Going Bad
❌ Rancid smell – If it smells like crayons or stale nuts, it’s gone bad.
❌ Cloudy & thick consistency – This could indicate spoilage.
❌ Bitter or off-putting taste – Fresh EVOO should taste grassy, fruity, or peppery.
How to Store EVOO Like a Pro
✅ Keep it in a dark, cool place – Sunlight speeds up oxidation, causing it to go bad faster.
✅ Use dark glass or metal containers – Clear plastic or glass bottles let in light, shortening shelf life.
✅ Seal it tightly – Air exposure speeds up spoilage.
Why Tunisian EVOO Lasts Longer
