Olive Oil in Pakistan: Buyer Notes

Storing olive oil in a hot climate

Heat, light and air are the three enemies of olive oil, and summers in Pakistan bring plenty of the first two. Good storage keeps Loralai extra virgin olive oil tasting fresh to the last spoon.

Keep it cool and dark

Store bottles in a closed cupboard away from the stove and windows. A cool room is enough, and refrigeration is not required.

Limit air

Close the cap immediately after pouring. If you buy a large quantity, decant a small amount for daily use and keep the rest sealed.

Use it while fresh

Olive oil does not improve with age. Aim to finish an opened bottle within two to three months. More kitchen advice is on the olive oil blog.
