What to consider when you buy Olive Oil. One of the most important considerations when buying olive oil should be its date of production. Olive oil does not improve with age like wine, it deteriorates. It loses taste and colour and can go rancid, it is therefore best to consume olive oil within 18 months of production. This of course is hard to define; no oil comes with a production date only a use by date that often gives a life of more than 18 months. Quality of Olive Oil Extra virgin olive oil is the most sought after and the priciest. It has a low acidity, which makes it perfect for using on salads etc. Sometimes the level of acidity is marked on the oil bottle, the lower the acidity percentage the better it is. Artisan oils are produced by small farms and can be some of the best. Not all olive oils are the same, just as the weather conditions and soil types vary in every area so does the flavour of the oil.
