Extra virgin olive oils require special preservation against high temperatures, light, and humidity, such as using a thermal blanket.

Oil does not have a fixed freezing temperature, since this depends on the amount of fatty acids it contains. We use an approximate solidification point of 7ºC as a benchmark, and a maximum temperature of 28ºC should not be exceeded during transport.

Freezing the oil will not affect its quality, but storage at higher than the recommended temperature will.

In storage, the process begins at a temperature of 25ºC that will affect its texture, with losses of qualitative properties due to a reduction in the antioxidant substances found in the oil, thereby contributing to its rancidification.

Oil is a plant product, which means that light affects various photosensitive substances that act as preservatives. They become activators and catalysts for oxidation in the presence of light.

With the Embatuff Thermal liner, we can help you maintain the right temperature levels for the oil and add additional protection if necessary. We recommend that you consult our experts beforehand.
