How it differs from similar foods
Creamy peanut butter is processed to remove most of the peanut solids, resulting in a smooth, spreadable texture without any chunks. This is different from chunky or crunchy peanut butter, which retains small pieces of peanuts for added texture. The oil separation is also minimized through processing.

How to keep the rest
Store unopened jars in a cool, dry place. After opening, it is best to store the peanut butter in the refrigerator to maintain its texture and prevent oil separation. Stirring may be necessary if oil rises to the surface.
