Cooking oil is not the same from the day you bought it due to the rancid effect on oils
Have you ever bought cooking oil and just leave it as if it would last forever?
We tend not to think of oil as a food item even when we are using it for cooking.
Cooking oils (salad oil and others in the same respect) are processed from food products such as your vegetables, coconuts, nuts and others. Therefore they are a by-product of food that would also be susceptible to spoilage.
Paying most attention to the recommended storage instructions on the bottle is very important if we want to use a healthy product that benefits and not hurts.
Most instructions would say to stay away from sunlight or refrigerate after opening.
So clearing out a bid of the cabinet or refrigeration space to properly store these oils make sense.
Size matters
Since not all oil has the same shelf life and some expires faster than others, paying attention to the size of the bottle you purchase for your cooking habits would help to ensure minimizing the chance of using the expiring oil.
