Once openedabout 6 months

Opening never extends a date: if the packet date comes sooner, go by that. Estimates for quality, not a safety ruling. What the dates mean

Olive oil keeps for about a year in the cupboard, counted from when you buy it. That's SnapLarder's estimate for olive oil in general. If the packet has a date, go by the packet: it's specific to that product.

How long does olive oil last once opened?

About 6 months. Opening never extends a date: if the date on the packet comes sooner, go by that.

Does olive oil have a use-by date?

Usually not. Olive oil normally carries a best-before date, which is about quality rather than safety. Stored as the label says, it’s usually still safe after it, though it may not be at its best. Use by vs best before

Can you freeze olive oil?

There's no need. Olive oil already keeps for about a year in the cupboard.
