Corsaire – Hope you’re feeling O.K. despite the aggressive splint!
Mama cando – I have heard about freezing olive oil but haven’t tried it yet. A couple of years ago I corresponded with a lady in Italy who works for Sagittario (at sagittarioimpruneta dot com), a company that produces wonderful olive oil in Tuscany, which they ship to customers in the U.S.A. and elsewhere. She told me that it is best to never refrigerate olive oil but that it’s O.K. to freeze olive oil. However, she said that once the frozen olive oil is thawed out, it tends to degrade (go rancid) more quickly than olive oil that has never been frozen. So, she suggested that if i wanted to freeze olive oil, I should do so in small bottles and plan on using each small bottle up fairly quickly after I thawed it out.
