Brief
Keeping it in the fridge is not a bad idea if it takes you more than a few months to go through an opened bottle. Refrigerating olive oil does not diminish its quality and it will help preserve it better than warm and light-exposed places. If it solidifies, it’s totally fine — it will clear up when it’s back to room temperature.
