will this oil solidify in the refrigerator?

Yes, but all quality olive oils will. It doesn't affect the flavor. Just let it sit at room temp for a while and it will thin back out. Generally it doesn't need to be kept in the fridge, though, just a cool, dark place, like a pantry or cupboard away from the stove.

I don't know but I suspect it will. Most EVOOs do. We don't store it in the fridge.

yes, all olive oil thickens in the refrigerator. Just warm it back up and it will thin right back out

The oil is solid at 76 degrees and under, however in temperatures above 76 degrees the oil is in liquid phase. It is okay for it to go from solid to liquid.

I leave mine out and it does say on the bottle you CAN refrigerate but do not, no issues. I have been using this oil for about 2 years with no problems. I believe there are 3 sizes of bottles.

That is a good question and I am afraid I cannot answer. What I can provide is the oil seems to be as wonderful in terms of quality. I store in a dark cabinet if that helps.

Hi, I would refrigerate this oil if you intend to keep it for over a year, I keep my oils in an extra frig in the garage. If you have a cool basement area to store your oils, that works longer term as well. All oils are subject to become rancid if not used soon enough. The cooler, the better. Its not hard to warm it up, same as honey, just put the bottle into a pan of very warm water. I would also advise that it be put into a glass container, I use mason jars and just mark the lid with a sharpie marker and date it. That way you can just spoon out the quantity of cold oil that you need to use. Neem is a favorite for blending different oils together for healthy skin. I use lilac or lavender oils to dim the neem smell a bit. Hope this helps.

I think so after thorough wrapping of the container. Oil leaks from the top opening(the valve opening which drains the oil from the stainless steel container to the collector container after it's cooled) because it's a loose structure so in a fridge where you need to move things around a lot , oil can be spilled and create quite a mess.I think you should wrap the container before putting it in a fridge and place a paper towel beneath it too.

yes, that is correct. Almost anything containing type of oil should be stored in the refrigerator after opening. Some exceptions are coconut oil and to a degree olive oil, as these are more stable and will not go rancid as easily as many other oils.

It can start to spoil. I bought several and the later ones smelled a tad. A friend suggested refrigerating all but the one in use to extend shelf life, just like any oil.

Hi Lynn,I'm not an oil expert but I'm going to venture an educated guess. Depending on the part of the country you live or the temperature the oil was stored at, I am guessing that the oil was probably colder than the point of congealing. This happens with all natural oils when they get below a certain temperature (i.e., putting olive oil in the fridge). Try letting the oil warm to room temperature or run it under some warm water and it will most likely un-congeal. Good luck.

At room temperature it is an oily liquid. In the refrigerator it is a hard solid. When you taste it, it is oily.

No you can leave it out in the cupboard. You may need to stir it as the oil settles and separates on the top.

No. No oil needs to be refrigerated. I personally finish the whole bottle for one week.

yes it has been refrigerated, but the oil has been used many months ago. I do remember that the pressing date was within a few days of delivery. Sorry i couldn't be of more help.

I don't know why you would want to put it in a refrigerator. It a natural plant extract oil and has a long self life if kept out of direct sun light and high heat.

Yes, it becomes liquid once it has been heated up. Then it will solidify after it has cooled but the more you heat it up, the lose it gets. Mine comes out thick now but it isn't as solid anymore. I'm pretty sure you can mix it with an essence oil to make it smell more "prettier". I wouldn't recommend using Castor Oil because like you said-that doesn't smell more pleasant neither.

No, it doesn't. The oil will run down the bottle and could leave an orange ring/tint on the counter though, so make sure you wipe the bottle and store it in a cool dark place like a cabinet.

When the oil gets cold it solidifies. It's not spoiled. Just take it out and let it warm up and then use it. I keep mine in the refrigerator to prolong it's life.
