How to keep the rest
To maintain its freshness and texture, store the unopened container in a cool, dry place. Once opened, it is best to refrigerate the remaining spread. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to prevent it from drying out or absorbing other odors from the refrigerator. Proper storage will help preserve its creamy consistency and flavor.
