Properly Stored Organic EVOO

Why proper storage matters

EVOO is especially vulnerable to temperature fluctuations. Too much heat accelerates oxidation and degrades polyphenols. When that happens, flavor fades and health benefits decline. Even the best oils can lose their integrity if they aren’t protected and stored properly.

That’s why storage must be part of the product, not an afterthought.

What NOP certification ensures

To sell organic EVOO in the United States, oils must be stored in a NOP-certified facility. NOP stands for the National Organic Program, a federal regulatory system overseen by the USDA.

NOP develops and enforces standards for organically produced agricultural products sold in the US and accredits third-party certifiers who verify that businesses meet national organic requirements. USDA and these certifiers work together to uphold strict standards.

Optimal storage conditions for EVOO

Temperature control is critical. Organic EVOO should be stored in a stable, cool environment. Green Autumn Revival stores its oils in a NOP-certified facility that maintains temperatures between 55°F and 70°F. This helps protect flavor, structure, and polyphenol content.

Equally important is what EVOO isn’t stored in. Our oils are kept in glass and metal containers, never plastic, to avoid oxidation and the risk of microplastic contamination.

Consistent temperature, proper materials, and careful handling reduce degradation and extend freshness. That’s how we ensure the purity and integrity of our EVOO.

Storage is often overlooked

Many oils are certified at origin, but their quality is compromised later. Improper storage erases most of the health benefits of careful harvesting and testing, leading to substandard olive oils.

NOP-certified storage ensures organic integrity is maintained from arrival to fulfillment.

Optimal storage is part of our promise

Proper storage preserves what was achieved at harvest.

At Green Autumn Revival, storage is treated with the same care as sourcing and testing. From the grove to the bottle to your table, we ensure our EVOO retains its vitality at each stage.
