What the experts say: Storing olive oil in the fridge will solidify the triglycerides and monounsaturated fatty acids, so keep it in a cupboard instead. keep olive oil in clear bottles out on worktops. This is especially important if it's a sunny room. Instead, keep it in a cupboard or choose green-bottled brands, which will be more resistant to light degradation. After soaking cucumbers and onions, pour out saltwater and rinse thoroughly with cold water and allow cucumbers to drain. The age old question is, which do you prefer, Heinz or Haywards Piccalilli.

What the label advises: Keep refrigerated and use within three months (Nando's Peri Peri Sauce Medium) I find this a bit more tangy than Haywards, so I like it just a tiny bit less.

But this is a tasty substitute.

What the label advises:Once opened, keep refrigerated and consume within six weeks (Haywards Piccalilli) Refrigeration is only required if you're concerned about keeping the quality and flavour at their peak for longer.
