Do I need to refrigerate extra virgin olive oil once I open it? I need to know before I use it again today.?

No - no refrigeration needed.





Things that require refrigeration after opening generally say so on the packaging.Do I need to refrigerate extra virgin olive oil once I open it? I need to know before I use it again today.?
~*~No you shouldn't store it in the fridge, the condensation can mix with the oil and make the final result less favorful.





One basic thing to remember about olive oil is that it is constantly oxidizing as a result of age, heat, air and light exposure. Always store olive oil in a dark glass bottle or stainless steel container. Do not store in plastic bottles because olive oil is very reactive and if in contact with plastic will take on the properties of the plastic container. Place the container in dark places and in areas that are slightly cooler than room temperature. Tightly close the container when you are not using it. Try to use it within 9 months.Do I need to refrigerate extra virgin olive oil once I open it? I need to know before I use it again today.?
No need to refrigerate oil. If you put it in the fridge it will probably solidify. If the oil gets too old it will go rancid and you will be able to smell it.
