To maintain canola oil's quality, store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. An airtight container is essential to prevent oxidation and rancidity. Unopened canola oil can typically be stored at room temperature for up to two years. Once opened, it's best to use it within a year. Refrigeration is not necessary but can extend its shelf life further, though it may become cloudy; this is normal and will clear up at room temperature.
