How should this oil be stored after opening? — Flaxseed Oil with Maral Root 100 ml - Alteja

Unrefined flaxseed oil is especially sensitive to oxidation: contact with oxygen, light and heat speeds up rancidity. After opening, the bottle should be closed tightly and stored in the fridge, away from heat sources and direct light.

Flaxseed oil oxidises faster than, for example, sunflower or olive oil, so an open 100 ml bottle is best used in the near future. If the oil acquires a sharp unpleasant smell or a bitterness that clearly differs from the usual herbal taste of leuzea, this is a sign that the product has spoiled and should not be eaten.

The small pack size (100 ml) is convenient in this respect: it can be used before the oil has time to oxidise, without stretching it over several months.
