Proper storage is essential for keeping your extra virgin olive oil as fresh as possible. Since light, heat, and oxygen are the main culprits that lead to rancid olive oil, it is critical to protect your oil from those variables. Even the best olive oil will degrade quickly if not stored properly. But what’s the best way to store your olive oil?

Some people keep theirs in a serving cruet beside their stove. Others prefer to display their high-dollar olive oil in a beautiful bottle on their kitchen counter. Still others keep it tucked away in a cool, dark cabinet or pantry, bringing it out only to use as much as they need for each meal. With familiar options like these, many people are left wondering how to store their olive oil. Which storage method is best? Great question.

Preserve olive oil by protecting it from light, heat, and oxygen
We mentioned it quickly at the start of this article, but it’s worth stating again: when it comes to keeping your olive oil fresh, light, heat, and oxygen are not your friends. Since each affects the oil in a unique way, we want to take a closer look at all three and show you how proper storage can protect your olive oil and keep it from turning rancid.

What is the best container for storing olive oil?
Glass bottle. Plastic bottle. Stainless steel dispenser. Ceramic cruet. Pantry Pouch. At one point or another, you’ve probably seen extra virgin olive oil stored in all these containers. While many olive oil producers prefer the traditional glass bottle, a growing number of distributors are opting for more cost-effective plastic containers. Some olive oil enthusiasts prefer to buy their favorite EVOO and transfer it to a different container when they get home. With all these options in mind, let’s look at the pros and cons of each:

Glass bottle
Arguably the most popular olive oil container, glass bottles are aesthetically pleasing and relatively easy to handle. Dark glass blocks much — though not all — of the harmful light rays that can damage the oil. As long as you don’t place them near heat sources like stoves or ovens, glass bottles are reasonably effective at keeping their contents at a safe temperature.

Plastic bottle
Can you store olive oil in plastic bottles? Sure. But just because you can doesn’t mean you should. For consumers who go through large amounts of olive oil in a short time, plastic containers can be a good option. That being said, if your olive oil usually lasts a month or longer, you should steer clear of plastic bottles. Over time, chemicals can transfer from the plastic container to the olive oil, dramatically changing its flavor and potentially exposing you to harmful chemicals.

Stainless steel dispenser
This option is a good idea for EVOO lovers who purchase their olive oil in bulk. Large bottles or tins can be awkward to handle and even more awkward to display on a table or counter. Transferring small amounts of olive oil to stainless steel dispensers is a good way to use only the oil you need while keeping the rest of it in its original container. Stainless steel does an excellent job of blocking light and keeping the oil cool. And unlike reactive metals like copper or iron, stainless steel won’t tarnish over time and release impurities into your oil.

Pantry Pouch
While other olive oil containers protect their contents against light and heat, none of them are especially effective at guarding against the damaging effects of oxygen. That’s why we developed the La Panza Olive Oil Pantry Pouch. Our innovative, airtight packaging preserves the freshness, flavor, and nutrients of EVOO by protecting from light, heat, and oxygen. The pouch’s built-in spout lets you pour the olive oil you need without removing a lid and exposing it to oxygen. It also features a metallic liner that keeps the oil even cooler than standard packaging.
