About olive grease?

How long can olive oil that have been open remain unspoiled? Does it ever get rancid or devolution in it's flavor?

Answers:
Most of the posters are correct when they assert that olive grease can stay good for a long time, but simply if it is stored correctly.

Keep the oil surrounded by a dark, cool place, away from any warmness source. Heat will break down the oil and explanation it to turn rancid. DO NOT REFRIGERATE, however. Put it in the pantry, in good health away from light and fry and you should be able to use it for a long time.
Yes it does. Don't know the time but you can walk by smell. Put it in the ref.
after in the order of two years unopened it does
put it in the fridge
Average shelf time for olive oil is 18mths. Olive grease is rancid, when it tastes approaching pumpkin.
Stored correctly, it can be kept for years!
Forever. Its an oil. Oil last forever. Just dont put it in the fridge, it will start solidifying and curdling.
It may lose some of its flavour after a while, but trust me, I live within Greece, and most houses have similar to 30L vats of the stuff and are perfectly contented to leave it contained by the barrel below the sink and take a cup from it everyday.
yes it can
