But what about where you should store that oil in the first place? AdvertisementWell, according to experts at gut health company ZOE, that’s one of the worst places to keep it. She explains that “you’ve got very, very high polyphenols, just after the point of harvest,” which is a good reason to buy the best olive oil before Christmas. “If you think about the way that the Mediterraneans consume olive oil, they would be consuming that within a year, because of course then there’s the next harvest,” she added.
