Extra Virgin Olive Oil & Understanding 3 Elements To Avoid

By Robert Sutter


To say that there is a level of care to consider with extra virgin olive oil would be an understatement. Many people know of the extent of this product, both in terms of culinary processes or otherwise. However, there is still a certain level of care that should be taken as far as this item is concerned. What exactly does this mean, though, you may wonder? In order to care for this product so that it can last for a long time, make note of these 3 precautionary tips for the future.

Light is perhaps one of the most important "enemies" to take into account when it comes to extra virgin olive oil. If exposure to light is tremendous, the oil in question stands a lesser chance of being healthy, as one can probably imagine. This is why the utilization of darker bottles is viewed as an important endeavor and authorities such as Unaprol would be able to agree with such an idea. Make sure that you understand light so that your oil will wind up being healthier.

Heat is another critical aspect that can play into the healthiness of your product overall. It's very much the same situation as light, at least in certain regards, since too much heat can take away the nutritional properties commonly associated with extra virgin olive oil. When it comes to this aspect, it is important to note that there are certain smoke points to take into account. Make sure that the product isn't heated above said points and it will remain, for the most part, healthy.

You should also keep in mind that oxygen stands a chance of impacting the health of extra virgin olive oil in a negative way. More specifically, the exposure to such an element should be kept to a lower level, which may be impossible considering that, sooner or later, the product must come in contact with open air to be utilized. It's just a matter of limiting the amount of time that the container is left open. Immediately after it is done being used, make sure that you store the product carefully once again.

Hopefully these tips have been able to give you a better understanding of how to handle this product. While you may not have assumed that this product could be made less healthy due to various factors, you may be surprised to see what can happen if the proper care isn't taken. Whether it's a matter of light, heat, or oxygen, it's clear that there are elements which can hinder certain products, this oil included. It's just a matter of understanding how to overcome them for the purpose of better health.
