 You know, where do you keep your olive oil? Well, you don't keep it in the fridge. You keep it out on the counter. Olive oil will last a long time. But what happens with real olive oil if you put it in the fridge? You know, just like butter. I leave butter out on the counter. There's enough oleic acid in the butter that bacteria and mold is not going to grow on the butter. It's safe. But if I put it in the fridge, it's going to turn into a real hard stick.
