Andy, it is the Pam-style can, so I never had it refrigerated.
Yes, my nose knows. Thanks for that suggestion.

I like to leave OO on the counter, too. Sometimes I will transfer some to a
small jar and leave it on the counter. DH, the curmudgeon insists that I
leave it in the refrigerator, but he always has this to say when I leave it
out in a small container: Did we go through that bottle of OO so fast? I
want to reply, that 'yes, we did," not letting him know that the bulk of it
is still in the refrigerator.

And I always want to say, Yes, so why don't we leave it out instead of
refrigerating it to death, back and forth -- but I don't. You wanna know
why? Because I give in on the small things. ;-)

Who would've thought a bottle of OO would create such decisions.
