How much do you know about the heart-healthy kitchen staple olive oil?

Storage: a dark glass or tin bottle protects oil from light and air, both of which can cause it to spoil. Clear glass is OK as long as it’s mostly covered by a large label. Store oil in a cool, dark place—not near the stove, where heat can make it spoil more quickly. If you use a cruet, make sure it’s ceramic or dark glass.
