I can never chop just the right amount of garlic, so I usually mince and entire head - sometimes more - and store what I don't use in the reefer in a tightly sealed bottle with EVO oil covering it. I then use from this stash when I cook. My questions are: 1) Is this a bad practice (and, if so, why)? and 2) How long is it safe to keep in this manner if it has not gone off color?
TIA
