Can it sit out?
Almond oil is shelf-stable, so sitting out at room temperature isn’t the safety question — storage time is.
How to tell if almond oil has gone bad
- A crayon or old-putty smell when you uncap the bottle
- A bitter edge on something plain, where it used to taste sweet
- A gummy, varnished ring around the neck and threads
When in doubt, throw it out.
Cold storage clouds almond oil — that’s the fat setting, not a fault, and it clears again on the counter.
