How should I store this hemp oil to keep it fresh?

Because Maslyany Korol hemp oil is unrefined, cold-pressed, and non-deodorised, it retains natural compounds like tocopherols (vitamin E) and phytosterols, but it is also more sensitive to environmental factors than refined oils. To maintain its freshness, nutritional quality, and delicate aroma, proper storage is essential.

Before opening: Keep the bottle in a cool, dark cupboard away from direct sunlight and heat sources (like stoves or ovens). Light and heat can accelerate oxidation, leading to rancidity.

After opening: It is highly recommended to refrigerate the oil. Cold temperatures significantly slow down the oxidation process, preserving the integrity of the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. The oil may become slightly cloudy or thicker when chilled, which is normal and does not affect its quality. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before use if you prefer a smoother consistency.

Always ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to air. Use the oil within a reasonable time after opening to enjoy its best flavor and benefits.
