Olive oil is sensitive to light, which can cause it to oxidize and go rancid. Storing olive oil in clear bottles exposes it to light, accelerating this process. Instead, store olive oil in a dark, opaque bottle or tin, and keep it in a cool, dark place. This will help preserve its flavor and nutritional properties.
