But not in the case of olive oil, because it does not expire. It is preferential consumption.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yes, as you have read. This majestic juice extracted from the olive is not perishable, so you can consume it for a long period of time. However, not with the same properties as in the beginning. We tell you more about it in detail.   <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How long does extra virgin olive oil last?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Extra Virgin Olive Oil has a best-before date. As endorsed by the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition, if it is consumed after this date, it will not pose a health risk. <\/p>\n<p>The best-before date can be found on the label or printed on the package. The best-before date is usually also indicated on the label or printed on the packaging. It is best if the bottling date is as close as possible to the harvest date. This is because the fresher the oil will be.   <\/p>\n<p>It is recommended to consume the <a href=\"https:\/\/almazaraartal.com\/en\/shop\/extra-virgin-olive-oil\/\">Extra Virgin Olive Oil<\/a>, once opened, in maximum 6-8 months. Although the reality is that it does not usually last that long if it is used on a regular basis. And as long as we talk about small formats such as liter or three liters, for example. If we talk about five or more liter bottles, it is likely to last longer. And of course, it also depends on the olive oil consumption of each household. The average consumption per person per month is approximately 1.2 liters.     <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/almazaraartal.com\/tienda\/&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;\u00bfQuieres disfrutar los beneficios del mejor Aceite de Oliva Virgen Extra?

As we mentioned in the previous point, it <strong>is still safe for the organism if ingested<\/strong>. But if it is not preserved correctly, it can become rancid. And then it will be better not to consume it because its flavor will not be pleasant. Nor its aroma either.    <\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, <strong>you can use it for other applications.<\/strong> For example, to make soaps, as a hair mask, to nourish the skin, etc.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you know when olive oil is bad?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When olive oil has exceeded its best-before date <strong>, its organoleptic qualities may be affected.<\/strong> These are its color, aroma, texture and flavor. Therefore, it will not have the same quality. It will change from Extra Virgin, to Virgin or lampante when it is no longer for consumption, but for other uses.    <\/p>\n<p>If you have olive oil that is past its expiration date, taste it to see if it has a different flavor. You can also smell it to see if it is rancid. <\/p>\n<p>A few tips. To prevent good olive oil from spoiling, keep it away from light and heat.   <strong>Store in a dark place, without sudden temperature changes and tightly closed.<\/strong>  This will prevent it from oxidizing when it comes into contact with light or air. And its polyphenols, which are its natural antioxidants, will remain intact for longer. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;7px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;8px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;] The shelf life of foodstuffs, an issue that must be taken into account.
