A note about storing gourmet Oils.
All oils are best kept (or stored) away from heat and light. This is especially so for unrefined oils such as extra virgin olive oil. A cool dark pantry or cupboard is the best location for olive oil when it is not on the prep counter being used as an ingredient.Glass, porcelain, and stainless steel make the best decanters or containers. Glass drizzle cruets are an ideal decanter. Never store olive oil in a plastic or reactive metal container. There are certain gourmet oils that are unstable and should be refrigerated, i.e. walnut and hazelnut oils. Fine gourmet olive oil is not an oil to store in the frig.
Glass oil and vinegar cruets are a perfect gourmet gift selection for any occasion. olive oil storage, olive oil decanter, drizzle cruets
