For quality control purposes, the mill owner must keep a trace record of the product. Oil analyses are carried out regularly to monitor the evolution of the oil. A good olive oil will keep for 18 months before opening and 6 months after opening. It should be stored away from light (in an opaque container or in a dark place), in an airtight container (e.g. a closed bottle) and away from heat (preferably at about 18°C). |
