<pre>You and your friend, no need to worry about the oil 'gelled'. When it
warms, the oil will 'bounce back' as you said. The cold weather or low
temperature won't make any damage to olive oil. The change is only
physical, not chemical.

Good morning all,
A friend of mine left two weeks ago for the warmer climate of Queensland
to
get the chill out of his bones.

He left his oil in the shed to settle. When he returned and had a look
at
it he found that it had gelled somewhat.

Temperatures down around the 2 degree mark some nights. Is his oil
damaged
now since it has gelled or will it bounce back once he gets the
temperature
back up. If damaged what has happened to it (chemically).

I understand ideal conditions for storage are between 12 and 16 degrees
C.

Can anyone help.

Cheers
Andrew Brown
