100% Australian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Health Benefits:
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a unique food with a wide range of well‑researched health benefits. These benefits come not only from its healthy monounsaturated fats, but also from its exceptional diversity of natural antioxidants and plant phenolic compounds, many of which are rare or absent in other commonly used oils. Cooking with Extra Virgin Olive Oil enhances flavor, supports nutrient absorption, and remains a stable, health‑protective choice for everyday meals.
Storage & Shelf Life
- Storage: Store away from direct light and heat, and minimize contact with air and moisture during storage and handling.
- Handling: Keep the bottle sealed when not in use. For peak aroma and flavor, use within 4–6 weeks of opening.
- Shelf Life: Best consumed within 12 months, or by the Best Before date indicated on the bottle.
How to Store Your Everyday Olive Oil
Maintain freshness and health benefits by protecting your oil from the "enemies of flavor."
01Keep it Dark: Store the bottle inside a cupboard. Exposure to light (even indoor lighting) can degrade the oil over time.
02Cool Pantry: Avoid storing your oil right next to the stove. Frequent heat exposure from cooking can speed up the oxidation process.
03Seal Tightly: Always replace the cap immediately after use. Air is a major factor in turning high-quality oil rancid.
