Does olive oil freeze?

Yes, it can solidify in cold environments. This is not a quality defect; it returns to its original state at room temperature.

If olive oil is bitter, is it spoiled?

No. A balanced bitterness and pungency can be an indicator of quality, especially in early harvest oils.

Is very green olive oil better?

No. Color alone does not determine quality.

Is it correct to store it in the refrigerator?

It is not consistently recommended. A cool, dark, and stable environment is ideal.

What is the shelf life of olive oil?

When stored under proper conditions, it generally retains its freshness for 18–24 months.
