It develops different levels of flavors as it matures.
And. A traditional oil you find on the shelf is already 2 yrs old by the time it gets to the shelf and then has an additional shelf life. As long as it’s stores in a cool dry place you should be fine open or not.
The bottles has a much longer shelf life than 2020. That’s just what we are required to put because it’s labeled Olio nuovo.

Great info! Makes sense as its pressed and shipped direct from farms.
Now to the good part, open up that bottle and take a taste!
