Sometimes during cold weather my bottle of olive oil turns cloudy, or a display of bottles in my local market has the same thing happen. Does this mean the oil has gone bad?
No. If you’re in a market on a cold winter day and you can see through the glass bottles that the oil has become cloudy, all this means is that the oil is responding to the temperature. Once the oil is back to a less chilled environment, this cloudiness will disappear and the oil will not be affected. Go ahead and buy that bottle and after an hour or two on your kitchen counter, it will look totally normal.
