Store sunflower or vegetable oil in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent rancidity. Once opened, ensure the cap is tightly sealed. While refrigeration isn't necessary, it can extend the shelf life slightly. Ideally, use the oil within 6-12 months of opening for optimal flavor and quality. Check for any changes in odor or appearance; discard if it smells off or looks cloudy.
