Will olive oil go bad? How to tell if olive oil has gone bad?

1. Olive oil can also go bad

Although olive oil is an oil with excellent benefits, it also has its own shelf life. If it is stored for too long or improperly, olive oil will go bad. After it goes bad, the nutrients in the olive oil will be lost in large quantities, and the amount of unsaturated fatty acids it contains will be reduced, so it will no longer have the health benefits that people should expect when they consume it.

2. Judging whether the olives are spoiled by looking at their color

After olive oil goes bad, its oil will become more turbid and its color will become lighter. If you notice these changes in olive oil, you should be careful and try not to consume it. You can use it to maintain your skin, and it can also play a certain role in skin care, so it is not a waste.

3. Smell to determine whether olive oil has gone bad

Fresh olive oil has a natural aroma, but the natural aroma will disappear when it goes bad. Sometimes it will have a musty smell, sour smell, metallic smell, and other odors. Sometimes it will have a pungent feeling after opening. In either case, it means that the olive oil has gone bad, and it is recommended to continue buying and consuming it.
