Producing extra virgin olive oil: (5) Bottling

From the moment olive oil is bottled, whatever bottle, unlike wine, it is sensitive to deteriorating factors (light, heat and air) and therefore gradually begins to degrade - hence the "limit" date for consumption. It is therefore preferable to look at the bottling date in addition to the harvest date.

In addition, on the way to the next step, the choice of bottle, label design etc. also play a role.
