Storing Olive Oil To Keep The Taste And Flavor Perfect
Olive oil is essentially a fruit juice and it can go off, or turn rancid if not stored properly. In the heat of summer, especially if you live in a hot country, this can be difficult. But there are a few tips and tricks you can use to help.
Olive oil doesn’t do too well refridgerated, so it’s best to keep the oil cool by whatever other means you can. Try to prevent the oil going above a temperature of around 25 degrees Celsius by storing it in the coolest place you can find. Or of you use air conditioning, this shouldn’t be a problem.
Buying your oil in smaller containers helps too. It’s the air, light and heat that makes it turn rancid, so keeping down on all of these will help too. The ideal temperature for storing olive oil is about 14 degrees Celsius, which is 57 degrees Fahrenheit. Of course, consuming your olive oil in great quantities will mean that no one container will have time to turn rancid before you finish it. That’s one way to do it!

The people of the Mediterranean basin consume an incredible amount of olive oil. It is the basis for everything. They cook with it and they use it in nearly every recipe. Life without extra virgin olive oil is simply unthinkable to the French, Spanish, Italians, Greeks and others.

Of course, the people in the Mediterranean basin consume extra virgin olive oil quite simply because they love it.

UK Farmer goes for gold with rival to olive oil
By Sarah Brealey,
A Suffolk farmer’s produce is staking a claim to be the new olive oil.
The glass bottles of extra virgin cold-pressed rapeseed oil are now on sale in Tesco as it rapidly grows in popularity. It has been made by Sam Fairs at Hill Farm in Heveningham, near Halesworth, for the past three years, and yesterday it went on sale in 90 supermarkets in East Anglia.
In the last year demand has soared from 330 litres a week to 1,000, and the Tesco contract is expected to increase sales by another 30pc.
Mr Fairs said: “We just thought we would try it and see how it goes. We want to promote local food and Suffolk, as well as rapeseed oil, and the key to it is shelf space. So being able to work with Tesco in their local food area is great. It’s very exciting.”

oléiculture Algérienne: 3 millions d’oléastres à Berrahal
Par N. Benouaret,
La décision est récente. Elle a été prise au titre de première action de redynamisation de la filière oléicole par la Direction des services agricoles (DSA) et les élus de la Chambre d’agriculture lors d’une réunion.
Il était temps pour sauver cette filière agricole qui, de l’indépendance jusqu’à la fin des années 1980, avait beaucoup donné à l’Algérie. En effet, durant des années, résultat de coupages judicieux, les huiles d’olive au goût fruité de Oléocoop Annaba, répondant aux diverses exigences des consommateurs, étaient très demandées. Elles s’étaient imposées sur nombre d’autres pays du Bassin méditerranéen.
